Frequently Asked Questions

What paints work on these canvas boards?
These boards are suitable for acrylic, oil, gouache, and mixed media. They are not recommended for watercolor, as the rigid primed surface doesn't absorb water the same way as watercolor paper.

Do they need to be primed before use?
No — these boards come pre-primed and are ready to paint straight away. You can apply an additional gesso layer if you prefer a smoother or more absorbent surface.

Can I frame these after painting?
Yes — the 7×9" size fits standard frames, making it easy to display your finished work without custom framing.

Are these good for beginners?
Absolutely. Canvas boards are one of the most beginner-friendly surfaces — they're affordable, rigid, and easy to work on. The 5-pack is great for experimenting without worrying about wasting materials.

How do these differ from stretched canvases?
Canvas boards are flat panels rather than fabric stretched over a wooden frame. They're more rigid, easier to store and transport, and generally more affordable — making them ideal for practice and studies.
