Starting Your Holiday Art with the Right Panel

Starting Your Holiday Art with the Right Panel

The holidays are here, and you may be looking for durable and dependable art panels to create holiday magic. It is essential to choose the proper materials, and that importance is emphasized when it comes to developing projects for the holidays. The variety, versatility, and durability of Trekell art panels can take your holiday projects from the naughty to the nice list, whether it be creating personalized painted gifts for family, friends, or colleagues. For home décor, like holiday wall art, festive signs, centerpieces, or even family projects that involve kids or loved ones, these wooden wonders are the best-kept secret for keeping your holiday keepsakes in pristine condition. Like Santa's elves, we value quality and craftsmanship and have 40 years of experience delivering exceptional art supplies.

Stronger than Santa’s Reindeer

Our art panels are made of baltic birch, hardboard, and aluminum composite, which makes them sturdier than traditional canvas. Whether you choose a wood, hardboard, or ACM art panel, you will enjoy the added benefit of starting your project immediately on a raw or pre-primed surface. The strength of art panels is that they are perfect for various media, whether you use paint, ink, mixed media, or techniques like pouring and collaging. These surfaces' durability and versatility are ideal for creating unique holiday keepsakes this season and all year round!

Holiday Aesthetic? Nailed It

From a cozy cabin, minimalist, or super glam, we all have our aesthetics when creating our preferred holiday art. Trekell offers many styles of art panels that can elevate your project. Block, floater, plein air, and cradled basic birch styles are all great options for creating various holiday aesthetics. Shape and display sizes are other essential elements in creating holiday art.

Festive Shapes and Display Sizes

Our selection of different shape options can help you achieve your holiday artistic goals. For example, you may use a round panel for festive wreath designs or an arch panel for storytelling art. An ellipse may be your choice for a portrait or creative landscape. Utilizing the available shapes can help elevate your holiday art even further- which is especially important when making gifts for our loved ones. The overall shape of your project is equally important, as is the thickness. We offer art panels with thicknesses from 1/8" to 1 ¾", all of which suit various display preferences, from framed to floating. Consider the thickness and style for display—thicker panels make bold, standalone pieces, while thinner options are frame-friendly.

Substrates that Sleigh

What your panel is made of, or the material substrates, plays a vital role in the strength of your holiday project. Canvas can be limiting and not support your holiday art endeavors. However, baltic birch, hardboard, and aluminum composite all offer additional support for your creativity. Baltic birch, for example, can withstand heavy paint application, is impeccably durable, and has a neutral color that allows colors to stand out. Hardboard is also an extremely durable option resistant to cracks and warping. Its compressed wood fibers make a smooth surface that is easy to prime. Then, you have an aluminum composite with a remarkably high strength-to-lightweight ratio. This creative surface is durable, weather and corrosion-resistant!

Primed & Ready: Just Add Cheer

Our art panels are primed and ready for you to use your artistic talents to spread some holiday cheer. Whether you need a surface prepped for Acrylic Gesso, Acrylic Primed Linen, Lead Primed Linen, Oil Ground, Oil Primed Linen, Quadruple Oil Primed Linen, or Watercolor Paper Panels, we have the finish to suit your project's needs. This holiday season, let your creativity shine brighter than ever. With Trekell art panels, you’re not just creating art—you’re crafting memories.
