Artists who enjoy painting on ready-made painting boards and panels no longer need to compromise on the quality of the surface on which they paint. Jackson’s Handmade Linen Boards are made in-house, using the finest linens.
The linen is glued onto a sheet of MDF with pH-neutral adhesive, which not only fixes the linen to the board but also forms a sufficient barrier between the board and linen to protect the linen from any impurities. Each type of linen board is available in the following sizes: 13 x 18cm, 18 x 24cm, 20 x 30cm, 24 x 30cm, 30 x 40cm, and 40 x 50cm. These superior linen weaves will enhance your enjoyment and the appearance of your painting.
This canvas is stiffened and sealed with one coat of universal transparent size. As a half-prepared canvas, this saves the artist some trouble and still allows them to get the custom surface they want by applying their own gesso. The artist can finish the canvas by adding their own choice of primer to the surface: acrylic primer, clear acrylic medium, homemade genuine gesso, or oil primer.
These boards are made with Belle Arti 696 Fine Linen. It is produced to the highest standards in Italy, and each stage of its production is carefully monitored, right down to the purchase of the yarn.
