Double Primed Linen RayMar Art Plein Aire PanelTM - We use Claessen's #15 100% Belgian, oil-primed linen exclusively for oil paint. The double oil primed linen is sized twice with zinc white primer bound with linseed oil and a double top coating of titanium white oil paint for the artist seeking an ultra smooth surface. The medium texture, medium weight linen is a favorite of professional artists for its irregular weave and 0% absorbency. It is suitable for portrait, landscape, and modern work with brush or palette knife application.
The RayMar Art Plein Aire PanelTM is a professional quality painting panel. We mount cotton canvas on 1/8 inch hardboard through a commercial process with a pH neutral adhesive to bind the fabric and panel in a uniform way. Next, we cover the reverse side of the panel with a gray melamine finish. This creates an acid-free archival art board that resists warping and provides a permanent barrier against deterioration from moisture or mold. This process creates an affordable, museum-quality painting board for artists.
