"Ampersand Art Supply's Primed Canvas Texture Artist Panel is a high-quality, medium density fiberboard (MDF) painting panel, primed with acid-free acrylic gesso. The ready-to-paint surface is like a gessoed canvas in texture, appearance and absorbency, giving artists the familiar feel of a fine linen or canvas with the additional advantage of painting on a rigid surface, and making it the perfect surface for artists looking to transition from canvas to wood panel painting. The durable and rigid support makes the Primed Canvas Texture panel ideal for palette-knife painting and multimedia applications. The 1.5" cradled panels, handcrafted using 1/2" birch plywood, offer extreme stability and support. These wood panels will not give, bend or flex. As with all of Ampersand's panels, they are made with quality materials that have been tested for durability and for performance with artists' paints. Do you want more control over your paint application and truer, brighter colors? Ampersand's Canvas Texture Artist Panel is the perfect surface for you! "
