How to choose canvases and painting boards

Choose your surface by medium and how the work will be displayed: stretched canvas is light and ready to hang, while canvas panels and boards are rigid, flat and easy to store or frame. Most are primed with acrylic gesso, which accepts both acrylics and oils.

• Deep-edge canvases can hang without a frame; standard-depth canvases are usually framed.
• Linen has a finer weave and stiffer feel than cotton duck.
• Boards and panels are good for studies, travel and plein-air painting.
• Check the canvas surface is tight and evenly primed, and add another coat of gesso for a smoother finish.
