Each sheet is factory-mounted to a 1\/8\" MDF board so the panel stays flat and ready to frame or varnish, making them ideal for studio, plein air, and commissioned work where consistent archival performance matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the oil priming affect paint handling and colour retention?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Centurion OP enhanced oil priming creates a stable, slightly receptive tooth that grips oil and alkyd paints without excessive absorption.
