Should I paint on a flexible or rigid support?
Oil paint becomes harder and more brittle with age and is therefore more prone to cracking. For this reason a rigid support is a good idea for oil paintings. Acrylics however have not been around for hundreds of years like oils but scientific analysis and accelerated aging tests show that it will likely remain flexible indefinitely, like most plastics. For permanent results, acrylics can be painted on a rigid or flexible support, like canvas or paper.
What is Medium Density Fiberboard?
Medium Density Fiberboard is an engineered wood product composed of fine natural wood fibers combined with a synthetic resin and joined together under heat and pressure to form large panels. is an extremely flat, smooth and uniform material with exceptional dimensional stability. It finishes easily and consistently.
My panels are excellent for oils, acrylics, tempera paints, collage and mixed media.
