Questions & Answers

These have the potential to be used as pyrography ( wood burning )?

My experience with these tools was in encaustic art. I am not familiar with pyrography, so I cannot comment on the effectiveness of its use.

How do they stand without being attached to a shelf or tabletop?

Despite their size, the cradle stands easily by itself without a stand or support. The sides of the cradle measure 1.75 inches. The depth of the jar is 5". As soon as you knock into them, they will topple over Nevertheless, picture frames and other stands for paintings are typically made from metal. them for encaustic paintings and I'm pleased with their

Can you tell me how the back of this item looks?

It's just like the back of a canvas panel, except it's made entirely of

What do you have to do in order to paint on them? Or does one need to prepare them somehow?

As a rule, I first paint titanium white acrylic paint on. There is no need to prepare the surface in any way. I simply apply it directly. The panels are very good. The time I save here can be used to do what I want to do most. Paint. As someone who has cut and made panels for many years, I'm glad this doesn't require me to do the hand labor of cutting and making them myself.

The quality of what you get depends on the price you pay

4/5

Panels of this caliber are not cheap, but they are pretty decent. I like their durability, flat, unwarped surfaces, and the fact that they are not going to fall apart anytime soon. * Here are some issues I had It's - In many cases, the corners of the books were crushed. Despite the efforts of the crew, the adhesive/glue that holds the panels together wasn't well cleaned up. In the edges, you can see glue that squeezed out and dried, so the look isn't I. - There were thin edges on the face of the panel that were not all sanded smooth* - a problem if you are painting on the panel, but mounting photos on the panel may be an issue. Despite one issue, the panel is only bad when used for an unintended purpose (photo mounting). As a result, we gave it 4 instead of 3 stars. As I painted my panels to cover the adhesive on the edges, it worked well, but if you want to keep the unfinished wood look, if you want to put a little effort into it, you might be able to sand off the adhesive marks.

This is a good product

4/5

There is too much depth here. As recommended in an online art class, I bought these. Although I wish I had read the product description in greater detail before I bought it. However, I think there is one fault in the quality. Five inches is too much depth for a panel that only measures eight inches in square footage. My wish would be for it to be more like that. The depth of the chamber is 75 inches. This is the kind of panel I plan to purchase more often If, however, having a deeer pane makes you feel like your work is more fancy and "gallery-worthy", then go for it If you are looking for a product with “depth" then this is.

Mosaic bases that are of good quality and sealed well make great mosaic art surfaces

4/5

The wood bases I bought are meant to be used for mosaic artwork bases containing stained glass. There was no damage (as other reviewers have reported), they were smooth, and they were ready to use once they arrived. The gesso has sealed them nicely, and I've not had any issues with my art tess staying attached after creating it. They have hollow backs, so they can be hung easily, but are thick enough on the back sides to easily be hung with sawtooth hangers. would buy from this seller again, as I think they're great wood bases.

We're taking the tops off of the frames! Considering that wood panels are a favorite of mine, I found this to be One of the two out of this five pack I used bubbled up in the center, causing ridges on the painting where the top actually came up off of My opinion of this brand would change if I were to buy it

The American Easel panels I have ordered in the past are smoother than these

4/5

There is no need to sand them before painting them. I prefer these over the American Easel panels.

Any media can be displayed on a flawless surface

5/5

They have a beautiful finish and are an excellent surface for artwork. During my drawing and painting days, I used acrylic paint and India ink in them. It was smooth and flawless from start to finish. The product is excellent, and I plan to.
