Jackson's : Smooth Wooden Panels

<p>Jackson's Wooden Panels are made of an ultra smooth, sanded light plywood, reinforced on the reverse with bracing to prevent warping. The beautiful un-sized wooden surface is ready to paint on with water and acrylic based paint, or can be sized or primed for use with oil paint. Sturdy yet lightweight, they are perfect for both painting projects out of doors as well as in the studio. We recommend priming with 3 layers of acrylic gesso and sanding between layers to produce a smooth yet slightly absorbent surface on which to apply both impasto marks and delicate washes.</p> <p>Can also be used for encaustic painting, or as a work support / drawing board.</p> <p>These panels are available in two profile depths: <strong>50mm</strong> and <strong>20mm</strong>. This is the distance which the painted surface projects from the wall.</p> <p>On both profiles, the width of the cradling is <strong>32mm</strong> (that is, the cradling extends 32mm in from each side of the panel on the back).</p> <p>To prevent swelling of the veneer do not saturate with water until the surface has been sealed. If applying acrylic gesso primer do not thin with water. Some artists have found it helpful to seal the surface first with <a href="https://www.jacksonsart.com/lascaux-hydro-sealer-1000ml" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lascaux Hydro Sealer</span></a>.</p>
