FAQs

What is the difference between a canvas and a canvas panel?

To help explain the difference, we need to look at the different types of canvas: 

Canvas panels and boards: these have a piece of primed canvas stretched over cardboard or a wooden board/panel. They’re affordable, less prone to damage and very stable to work on.

Stretched canvas: this is made from canvas stretched over timber stretcher bars, usually in the shape of a rectangle or square. They’re the go-to for most artists and are usually pre-primed. The difference is that they don’t have a backing, the support comes from the bars on the edges.

Canvas rolls: canvas rolls are rolls of canvas that come in all lengths and sizes. They can be painted on as is or can also be stretched (which takes a lot of patience and strength). 

Are canvas panels better than canvas?

This is ultimately up to your personal preference and budget! However, canvas panels are generally cheaper, harder to damage than stretched canvas and are already mounted. Plus, they offer a stable painting surface and usually come primed and ready to go.

How do you keep canvas panels from bending?

Because canvas panels are often made from cardboard, it's important that they're looked after properly to avoid bending and curling. You should always lay them flat, and you should make sure that you keep them out of humid environments that will permeate the cardboard frame and make it bend. You can also try using an easel to keep them stable as you paint. 

Another tip is to paint the back of the canvas panel - the paint makes the board stiffer, and less likely to warp. If you've just painted a piece and it's starting to bend, you could try using less paint, because then there's less moisture being transferred to the canvas.
