Glossary Term : Panel Painting
 |
Most surviving paintings
from the 13th to the early 16th century are painted on wooden panels.
The wood most widely used in Italy was poplar, but in the
Netherlands, France and England oak panels were most common. Lime,
beech, chestnut and cherry as well as oak were used in Germany and
Austria. Walnut and pine, and sometimes cherry and other fruit woods,
were also used in Italy for panels.

Your choice of painting surface
can have a profound effect on the success of your art,
creating as much impact as paint or technique. Most cracked paint
seen in completed paintings results from some type of movement in the
painting support.
Art Boards™ art panels
protect your artwork from damage,
caused by the flexing and cracking of paint films, and the solid
structure prevents the surface from being accidentally dented, torn or
damaged by mishandling.
Wood art panels
are more permanent than flexible fabric.
A properly prepared Art Board painting
panel will have a longer life than stretched canvas or other thin flexible
supports.
Painting on wood
art panels far surpasses painting on canvas.
Art Boards smooth reflective surface refracts light
differently than canvas, making colors more brilliant and vibrant. The firm
consistent surface is perfect for smooth blending of colors, fine brushwork,
and minute detail
