Info
Belle Arti Cradled Gesso panels are handmade in Italy, and suitable for a wide variety of techniques including oil, acrylic, pencil, watercolour, and ink.
The extremely stable 6mm poplar plywood base is finished with a very smooth, absorbent acrylic gesso surface. The fine surface is ideal for detailed work. The unprimed cradled frame behind the panel makes artwork feel more modern, as well as allowing a 3D effect. It also means a work can be hung professionally without the addition of a frame if you so desire. The external depth of the cradle is 38mm with the frame measuring 12mm in width.
They are very absorbent so you may wish to use extra oil if using oil paint. May not be absorbent enough for use with egg tempera which usually needs genuine gesso (made with rabbit skin glue and whiting). If the surface isn't absorbent enough the egg tempera paint may lift off the first layer when you apply a second glaze.
Belle Arti’s poplar multi-ply is ecologically friendly since all the products come from renewable sources and well-maintained plantations that minimise the company's carbon footprint.
