Good quality at an exceptional price! These sturdy canvas boards are perfect for teachers or students/classes - because they are primed, ready to go, and suitable for framing. I’m sure I will be purchasing these repeatedly.

I love creating beautiful paintings just to share with friends and family, or to decorate my own home and art studio. I love these panels because they are cheap, sturdy and get the job done, though I will give you some tips and tricks to make them better. PROS: -Very inexpensive. These are not the highest end canvas panels, but you don't need those even if you are a professional. These are well priced, and the fact that they come in a 10 pack is great. -Sturdy: These do not warp and are super straight. I've had ones before for that do warp when you use heavy product or mixed media but these hold up -Bright white: I am not a fan of toned or off white canvas, so these truly fit the bill to make your colors stand out. CONS: -Very textured. This might not be a con for so many people, but they are very stiff in the texture and while sometimes I like that, other times I really dont. If you like working on a smoother surface, these might irritate you, but I can tell you how to fix that. TIPS: Those these say that they are already primed, I have found that adding a few extra layers of gesso does uplifts these A LOT! What i do is add a bit of water (not a lot) to some gesso (I use white, but clear or black is fine, or your could add some paint ink to toned to a color, it all works well). Do one thin layer horizontally and let it dry. Do another layer vertically and let it dry. Then take a bit of fine grit sandpaper and lightly sand the surface. This makes the texture much smoother and also adds a small layer of gesso which helps the paint not absorb in and look muddy. Super simple and takes just a few minutes. I gesso'ed 5 of them and the other I left because I like the texture sometimes. Overall, I definitely recommend these for artists on a budget, beginners, and those who like to make a lot of work!

I really don’t use these. I bought them for my granddaughter and she seems very satisfied with them.

Bought for teen, just what she wanted

I use these for projects for grandkids. They’re not thick as the normal canvas, but it works out perfect
