Surface Preparation
These panels have a natural, sanded birch surface and are not supplied gesso-primed. Depending on your chosen medium, the surface may be used naturally or prepared with acrylic gesso, traditional gesso, texture paste or another compatible ground.
For oil painting, resin and other specialised applications, follow the preparation requirements of the materials being used.
Important Care Information
Natural wood responds to changes in temperature and humidity. To help reduce moisture absorption, movement and the risk of cracking, apply a suitable clear sealer to the front, back and edges before adding gesso, primer or other art materials.
Store unused and completed panels in a stable, dry environment away from excessive moisture, heat and rapid temperature changes.
Frequently Asked Questions About LUCA Round Wood Painting Panels
Are these round wood panels primed?
No. They have a smooth, sanded natural birch surface. Depending on your chosen technique, you can retain the natural wood appearance or seal and prime the surface before use.
Can I use acrylic paint on these panels?
Yes. Acrylic paint can be applied to a suitably prepared panel. Sealing and applying acrylic gesso can provide a more consistent painting surface.
Can I use oil paint on a round wood panel?
Yes, but the wood should be properly sealed and primed before applying oil paint. This prevents the oil from being absorbed directly into the wood fibres.
Are these panels suitable for paint pouring?
Their round shape and rigid surface make them suitable for paint-pouring techniques. Prepare the panel according to the requirements of the paint and pouring medium being used.
Can I apply resin to the finished artwork?
Resin can be applied when the wood and artwork have been properly prepared and completely dried or cured. Always follow the resin manufacturer’s surface preparation, mixing and curing instructions.
