Panels Primed for Painting
Gesso is a primer used to prepare materials for painting, sealing the board to create a smoother surface for applying paint. The primer layer also prevents absorption into the panel, creating a more vibrant result.
Over time, paint may tend to flake or peel off unprimed surfaces. With a gesso panel, your artwork will last longer and adhere more effectively to prevent these effects. Once dry, gesso panel paintings remain flexible, so you can roll or stretch the canvas without damaging the painting.
Elevate Your Art With Gesso Boards
Trekell offers various gesso boards to suit your project. Choose from shapes like rectangles, ellipses and circles. We also provide panels in multiple sizes, from options for miniature paintings to 16x20-inch panels. These panels use various materials, including:
- Hardboard: This dense and stable material is unlikely to warp and shrink over time. It resists moisture for long-term protection and has a smooth surface to enhance the quality of your artwork.
- Baltic birch: This plywood offers stability and can withstand heavy paint applications without damage. The smooth surface suits various artistic techniques, and the wood has a pleasing natural finish.
- Aluminum composite: These panels resist weather, sunlight, moisture and temperature variations. They are less likely to dent or scratch, and the pre-treated surface prevents rust or corrosion.
Depending on the chosen panel material, you can get various thicknesses for your gesso painting surface, ranging from 1/8-inch aluminum panels to 1 3/4-inch hardboard. The thickness can change your display options and give your work the distinct look you desire.
You can even choose from custom-cut linen primed for acrylic. Select the height and width, and we'll give you pricing depending on your desired dimensions. This option works well for adding canvas to an existing board or stretcher bars.
