Review on Arteza Canvas Boards for Painting: Pack of 14, 9x12 Inches, 100% Cotton, Gesso-Primed White Panels – Perfect for Acrylic Pouring and Oil Painting by Kristen Reid

Great drawing boards for beginners and children

I love these for beginners! I run an art studio and offer free classes for children with emotional issues who don't do well with traditional therapy. I needed an inexpensive means of doing canvas art exercises and these boards helped me accomplish this at a fraction of the price of traditional canvases. They dry well and, when plastered, cope well with large amounts of paint. However, if they are not properly primed, moisture will warp them. I don't think they work well with any type of infill and on a couple of occasions the canvas came loose from the cardboard backing as the paintings hardened. Absolutely not suitable for watercolor. Good, simple, durable enough for multimedia, the main thing is that they do not get too wet and do not work. Thin thickness and perfect for framing.

Pros
  • Cotton is the perfect surface for drawing: Our drawing boards are made of cotton, making it easy for brushes to glide over them and for easy painting. Cardboard core made from acid-free recycled paper.
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
