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 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.
