Dala Canvas Panel: Round 20cm

Why choose a Canvas Panel?

1. Affordability: Canvas panels are generally more affordable than stretched canvases. They are often made from a thin board or cardboard covered with canvas, which makes them a cost-effective option for artists, especially beginners or those on a tight budget.
2. Durability: Canvas panels are more rigid and sturdy compared to stretched canvases. They are less prone to warping or sagging over time, which makes them a reliable choice for artists who prefer a stable painting surface. This can be particularly important for small or medium-sized paintings.
3. Versatility: Canvas panels offer flexibility in terms of size and shape. They come in various standard sizes, including small sizes suitable for studies or plein air painting. Additionally, artists can easily cut or trim canvas panels to create custom sizes or unique shapes for their artwork.
4. Storage and Framing: Canvas panels are thinner and easier to store than stretched canvases. They take up less space and can be stacked or stored in portfolios. Furthermore, when it comes to framing, canvas panels can be framed without the need for stretching or re-stretching the canvas, simplifying the framing process.
5. Experimentation: Canvas panels can be a great choice for artists who like to experiment with different techniques, styles, or subjects. They are often used for quick studies, sketches, or practice paintings. Artists can try out new ideas or approaches without committing to a larger and more expensive stretched canvas.

The choice between a canvas panel and a stretched canvas ultimately depends on the artist’s personal preference, intended style, and specific project requirements. Each option has its advantages and may be more suitable for different artistic needs.
