- I have always painted on cradled hard wood panels.
But now I am doing something different. I am stretching canvas over the panels and once the painting is done, restretching the canvas on stretcher bars.
This new support system has solved the problems of warping, high delivery costs and the heaviness of my finished art all in one fell swoop!
Although it has taken quite a while to figure this out I am super excited about this new approach to my art support system.
Maybe what I have learned can help you too.
I know many share the same challenges I did. Let us all know in the comments what has worked for you.

On,y two choices you either ship full size framed or rolled. As for keeping panels from warping you either cradle with strips of sheet goods or use solid lumbar chosen for grain and stability. Other than that, composite aluminum, plastics, etc. I cradle with Russian birch ply strips. Unfortunately large panels in premium multiply birch these days has a propensity to warp. And of course being denser, the overall weight is up there.
So good. Thank you so much Nick. It's the info I was looking for!
Really insightful and helpful video! Love painting on wood panels and never really thought about this issue as I haven't painted on large panels!!! I saw some comments about wood and how to keep it from warping and once it leaves our hands it is out of our control how the art is stored and cared for. Canvas is nice because it can always be removed from a frame since wood is always prone to warping dependent on the environment (humidity changes etc.). As a guitar owner in a dry state it is my responsibility to keep my guitars wood in a good state or it can bow and crack too! :)
Hi Nick, what thickness are your wood panels? I understand everything else, but I’ve always wondered how thick your plywood is. Thank you so much for your insight and experience as a successful artist. I enjoy every vlog and tutorial that you make!
Nice! I have come up to the same idea. Last month I stretched several canvases on cradled panels. Its easy to carve paints on rigid surfaces. Larger canvases I stretch directly on the wall, then mount them on stretcher bars.
Fantastic video and exactly what I was wondering about! You are so very knowledgeable and generous with information, and it is much appreciated.

I can’t thank you enough for what I have learnt in a few weeks! As a frustrated artist, I have made more progress in a few short weeks than I have made in a lifetime! Unbelievable!!! Would love to do an online class with you.

Me too
That will be so helpful for my European shows.
I live in Florida, so now I am testing out the museo aluminum frames. So far so good
great idea that I will definitely try. I assume that this is all for acrylic paintings and no cold wax. I understand that you should not roll up cold wax mediums.
Hello from England, I've just binge watched all your videos and I'd like to thank you with all my heart for making these and sharing your knowledge and expertise with such grace and generosity. Look forward to more. Now I'll go paint :-)
Great and thanks Neeta
I would love for your assistant Michael to make a video about how he constructs the cradle panels and canvas frames. John Annesley's products are for top tier artists and galleries and are way out of most people's price range.
Hi Nick, thank you for sharing this! Can you guys update the link to the canvas you use? The one listed now doesn't work anymore. Thanks so much.
Hi Nicholas, your wisdom and generosity has been so useful for me and I'm incredibly grateful. I love this idea you have here, but wonder if you have had any cracking happen with painting on stretched canvas over the panel, then unstretching and restretching? Also , do yu sometimes roll your paintings for storage, any cracking or concerns with this? Thanks in advance!
How would you attach a charcoal art work to a wooden panel? Would you attach the paper first then create or after creating once you know you love the piece? 😊 love your sharing
Thank you for the tips. Once you sell and hang a canvas, how do you keep it from warping on its permanent home wall?
The collector will put it on stretcher bars made specifically for the size of the painting.
Can you loan out Michael???? Kidding.. thanks so much!!
I wondering about paint cracking when it’s rolled? Especially if you paint thick?
can you roll cold wax and oil paintings?
I honestly didn't know you could paint onto a canvas and roll it up without it affecting the paint. Which paint do you use that can withstand being rolled and it not crack the paint? Thanks if you get a chance to reply.
What stapler does Michael use? I checked the link. Do you use 20 oz canvas? Thanks
If you want to have the canvas delivered on a panel, aluminum is your best bet since it does not warp or change dimensions given the humidity (or lack thereof).
so how do you fix it from warping?
He stopped painting directly on a panel and just started to use canvas instead.
Yeah good comment Studio Edin...He has failed to really address the problem of warping...as I commented before his method is to send the canvas to the gallery, or framer nearby, and they mount his work on a frame...this artist would never see if his frame would warp if the work is sold...that will be the new owner's problem...his method is clumsy and not a real solution to the problem of warping...
@@cascal7503 what I take away from this video is that the warping happened because he painted directly on the large birch panel. (In addition, the panel was really heavy to physically move around and to ship.)
The solution is to use canvas and stretch that over a frame. It was never an issue that the frame was warping. The frame has cross and corner braces to prevent it from warping. If you follow the stretcher bars link, the company explains how their materials & process keeps their frames from warping.
@@cascal7503 did you ever find out how to fix warped canvases? I'm still trying to figure out how to fix a couple of mine and can't seem to find anything online. 😊
@@cascal7503 That's what I was thinking. A lot of talking, but hardly anything about how to stop or fix a frame that has a warp in it.
So just to get it straight, you send your canvas to the gallery and they, or a framer nearby, mounts your artwork and then its hung up for sale? You would never see your frame warp because if the work is sold the new owner has to deal with the warping...nice...not a real solution to the problem of warping...
That was extremely hard to follow, very confusing presentation!
god ! so slow and long winded - get on with it !
