I am going to show you how and why I use wood panels for my art!
What do you use?

Would be great if a PDF existed showing the construction process you use to build these panels along with a cut spec of the wood needed so one could go out and build panels on their own.
I've been thinking my next step is to move up to wood panels but the price is pretty steep compared to canvas panels. The only way to make it more affordable is to build them.
Great video!
I was literally JUST thinking of how I wish I knew more about those wood panels you use. Since in CVP we use these teensy ones, I've really started to like how durable they are and what they allow me to explore, vs canvas. Thanks Nick!
Yes, amazing coincidence....
Many advantages to your idea! Painting on canvas-on-panel saves alot of storage space and saves money. The buyer can either attach the canvas to panel or stretch it. Yes, travel with rolled canvas is easier and shipping is much less expensive. If you roll the canvas around a large enough tube, cracking shouldn't be an issue with acrylics. Not sure about alkyd or oils. One might also use extra strength stretch bars (even aluminum) as a reusable support (in a portable studio) as you use a panel. Thanks for sharing your ideas and energy!
Such a wonderful podcast! Laughed and watched again as there is so much great information! Thankyou both for doing this!
Hi Nicholas! Does the panel construction you show here prevent the warping you discussed in your video about that (warping)? I will be making my own and have A LOT invested in this question/answer as you know too well. Thank you for everything as always! Cheers and Be Well! 🍻 Brady
Thank you for sharing :)
Hi, they look really great! May I ask... What's a good type of wood to use for panels and what are the best product to size it and then prime it with? I would be so appreciative for the info as I am struggling a lot to figure this out. I want my paintings to stand the test of time 🙂 Thankyou!!
I was really wondering if your painting would crack. Would love to know what happens :) Have a nice trip! :)
Thanks Nick!
You mentioned hard wood for these panels, what thickness would you suggest? 1/4”(?)
The thicker the better, I would think. If its large enough that it bends it's going to require a sturdier frame. I think for the smaller pieces the thickness wouldn't really matter.
I’m wondering the same. I don’t work with paint, but am thinking of using it as backing for a larger ceramic multi-piece artwork. Wondering what type of hardwood and what thicknesses (depending on size). Hopefully we get a response🤓🙏.
The thickness depends on dimensions, just as necessity for cross bars depends on dimensions. 1/8 for small sizes, 3/16 for medium format and 1/2 thick + for large works. Those become VERY heavy btw. Ampersand and DaVinci make great cradled panels. One can look at their product info to study construction for ideas. If you don't have wood working equipment, or the space or don't know someone who does, it can get expensive and time consuming. The quality of wood also plays a factor, as well as what's practical cost wise and available where you live. At the big suppliers in US, it's cheaper to buy a sheet (4 ftx8 ft) and have it cut. Sandply is better than particle board and birch is better than Sandply and Poplar is another type used. Birch and Poplar in Europe might be less exp than US. It's all relative. A piece of MDF from the back of a discarded cheap piece of furniture may do just the trick for some. Lots of cheap art is printed on paper that is glued onto an MDF panel. Check it out in the thrift stores. Btw, many videos on YT about making your own hardwood panels. Many plein air painters build their own. Do a TH-cam search on it. Have fun!
Do you glue the canvas to the panel? Or just stretch and staple?
What's the advantage of using a wood panel under canvas vs stretching the canvas over a frame? You can't sand the canvas or do very much scraping, so why a wood panel rather than frame? Thanks Nick!
You maybe need to listen again
@@londoncalling7895 or, you could let me know the answer, since you seem to hint at possibly having heard the difference? I didn't.
What type of wood is the wood panels?
where you go in greece?
Nick, that is a huge expense of having these panels made only to take the canvas off and roll it up to take on the plane. Why not just tack the canvas to the studio wall, paint it and then roll it up for travel. What am I missing here?
