So it seems Jerry’s Artarama has a new, linen and cotton canvas, wood panel series up for sale. Jerry’s apparently uses 7 different types of canvas (listed below) and glues them to a wood panel… so for you artists out there who love canvas panels the gods have officially blessed you.
Some surprising aspects… The prices seem pretty good for a canvas panel. The cradle, or frame, looks very similar to the Da Vinci panels that Jerry’s sells.
