Canvas & Supports

Choosing A Surface

There are many surfaces to paint on: canvas, linen and wood to name a few. Each surface has it's own characteristics and advantages. Stretched canvas and Birch Panels cut down on prep work involved in preparing a surface. Rollstock canvas is available for artists who prefer to prime and stretch their own canvasses. Masonite, canvas panels and pads are suitable for smaller works and are an economical choice for practice pieces or for plein air painters wanting something compact and lightweight.

Preparing Supports

Inglewood Art sells Winsor & Newton Professional Grade Canvas Boards and Apollon- Gotrick Masonite Panels. Canvas boards and masonite panels are great surfaces to paint on. They are lightweight and compact, making them a favorite amongst plein air painters and students on the go. Inglewood Art recommends that paintings done on canvas boards or masonite panels be framed to prevent damage and warping. Canvas panels are pre-primed. We also recommended coating masonite panels with Gloss Medium prior to priming in order to prevent Support Induced Discoloration.
