RayMar Plein Aire Panels
RayMar Plein Aire Panel
Our painting panel is professional quality. We mount cotton and linen 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 panel 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.

Linen Panels
We use Claessen's #15 100% Belgium linen exclusively for oil paint. 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.
Single Oil Primed Linen is sized twice with a zinc white primer bound with linseed oil and a top coating of titanium white oil paint.
Double Oil Primed Linen comes with an additional coating of titanium white for the artist seeking an ultra smooth surface.
Cotton Panels
Medium
Our medium weight canvas is 100% cotton duck with a uniform medium texture. It is coated with a double acrylic acid-free priming for oil or acrylic paint. Designed for landscape painting, the absorbent texture grabs the paint for an opaque effect and also works well with water-based oil paint.
Smooth
Our smooth texture is a medium weight polyflax/cotton blend with an ultra smooth surface. It is triple acrylic primed for oil or acrylic paint. Creating minimal absorbency, this triple coating provides an ideal surface for portrait and fine detail painting. Our smooth texture canvas permits more paint manipulation and produces a translucent effect similar to oil primed linen.
