Review on Artlicious 8 X 8 Inch Blank White Canvas Boards - Pack Of 12 For Oil, Acrylic & Watercolor Paints by Shane Palma

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Inconsistently sized; some didn't fit 8 x 10 frame.

This purchase was delivered as two separately wrapped 12-packs of 8 x 10 canvas panels. The canvas seems fine and is neatly wrapped and the gessso ground seems evenly applied. However, of the 24 panels, 5 were cut inaccurately and would not fit into an 8 x 10 frame. They were about 1/16th" too big on one or two corners. Of the remaining 19, 6 were questionably snug in at least one and sometimes two corners.I would be hesitant to frame them because cramming them into the frame so they fit would put pressure on corner joint(s) that can over time cause those joints to separate (I've had this happen before). So, 13 of 24 panels are perfect and problem free.I will use them for paintings destined to be framed and sold. I will use the inaccurately cut ones for studies or brushwork/color mixing practice work that will never see a frame.While I feel like the price is an okay value, I am only giving 3 stars because the product's inconsistent manufacture resulted in me having to do extra work to test and sort panels to avoid future problems with the ones that don't fit my standard sized off-the-shelf frames. I will probably not buy these panels again unless it was for a kid's workshop or something where framing wasn't a concern. I have purchased this size panel in Blick, Soho Urban Artist, and other brands and not had any issues with sizing inconsistency.

Pros
  • It was a canvas lol . It's a good canvas
Cons
  • The canvas doesn't provide enough texture for oil paintings, leaving them looking flat and lifeless
