- This is my third video on this subject but in this one, you can see up close what a cradled panel or board looks like, why I recommend using them, and how to prepare them for acrylic or oil painting.
Thank you. Its good to hear from someone who has used these products for a long time.
FINALLY somebody intelligently explained what a cradled panel is. You have helped me so much. The idea of staining the sides turned my light bulb on bc buying frames is a pain. Thank you dear heart
Yay! That’s exactly why I no longer frame anything. I’ve saved a bundle, plus adding that depth to the painting makes it seem more sculptural hanging on the wall. Have fun!
Thank you so much for this info.
You’re welcome!
Great video! Thank you for choosing AE panels!!!
I would only recommend yours!
@@emilywilliams-wheeler7685 Do you have any recent videos on our panels?
Or plan on doing more videos? We could provide the panels. :)
I always paint on them. I just got two new panels from Blick and hope to start them in the next couple of weeks. I’m traveling right now. I would love to put together a video using the panels! I totally believe in them.
@@emilywilliams-wheeler7685 Reach out when you return and we can set you up.
I think , I would like to paint the inside back panel and include the surrounding sides for a “shadow box look”… but not necessarily add any 3 D objects in the box, lots of texture on painting surface itself, might be cool.
What do you think?, have you done that sort of thing before?
That sounds like a great idea! I haven’t tried it, but I think that would work well. Keep me posted.😊
Thanks for the helpful video! Wouldn't the sides and underneath need to be sealed too? Or do you do this at the end?
I always sand and seal the sides with two coats of satin polyurethane. The inside back is fine left as is. It’s like canvas. We don’t paint both sides of the canvas as a rule. Of course, you’re certainly not wrong if you decide to seal the back. Have fun!
Great vídeo! I was wondering if you have to seal before adding the gesso
Hi! I don’t. I’ve never had any trouble. Gesso goes onto raw canvas as a seal and works the same on wood panels. It’s like primer when painting bare walls.
No, you really should seal the wood. It may seem fine now but over time the wood has a greater chance of warping or rotting. The painting itself can be effected by Support Induced Discoloration (SID) over time.
@@markbarry6228there’s lots of conflicting advice if one watches 20 or 30 TH-cam vids on panel prep (without even getting into stretched canvas frames!). So not to be a negative Nelly or a mansplaining down talking commenter, all I can say is the majority of artists seal their panels with something like GAC100 followed by a Gesso product. So there’s that.😀
Do you pull the tape off before the gesso dries? Was wondering if it peels on the edges when tape is removed? Thnx for the video. 🙂
Hi! I don’t remove the tape until the painting is complete. I have rarely had trouble with peeling when removing the tape. If there is difficulty removing the tape, I just use an Xacto knife to carefully grab a corner of the tape. The tape helps preserve the edges so well. Good luck!
Great info. Was wondering how you hang a large 2" cradled panel...a lil heavy? Thought about drilling a couple holes in the top and hanging onto wood securely attached to the wall??? Any thoughts on that,m TY 😊
Excellent question! I use Hangman French-style cleat hangers. Work like a dream and I buy the ones that can handled much heavier weight than my painting just to be confident. You can order them from many places. Here’s an example from Ace.

TY!
I'm back...lol. I ended up making French cleats from wood...1 by 3's. I wanted it to sit inside the cradle, flush with the edge. Seems ok so far!
@@teresagrigsby-rose8761 That’s great!
