Code Violation!

Good. I have bought these boards 3 times now not counting the 3 other packs I just bought. I think I figured out how theses work! First, you can't just start drawing. If you do, they won't really accept watercolor paint. You MUST wet the canvas/board. I usually apply two wet coats first, then I apply another one and can use it as a wet-on-wet technique. Board/canvas works great! But like I said, you need to get it wet first.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Unsure

Does not absorb water color

These canvas panels are impermanent. So far I've painted 4 of them and only one wasn't quite waterproof. The son even said that the canvases look "greasy". it is strange. At first I get them completely wet, but as I apply the color layer by layer, it pools and doesn't absorb. It takes at least 4-5 layers until there is actually a painting on the canvas where the painting has lost its watercolor effect with soft transparent color. Won't buy this again.

Pros
  • Consistent results when tested
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

DOES NOT accept watercolors

These canvases are advertised by Phoenix Art as "watercolor canvases". If you're a watercolor painter, you know that most canvases don't absorb the watery properties of watercolors. This is because the canvases are coated with a composition that contains gesso, which is waterproof. Gessoed canvases work great with acrylics and oils, but not watercolors. For the manufacture of watercolor absorbent canvases, a special combination of compositions is required. The coating on these types of canvases

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Available in black only
