Preparing Cradled Panel for Art Work
The finished panel should be unframed. However, care should be taken to keep the sides clean or paint them to give a finished look. The Art Guild will wire the back for hanging.
PAINTING WITH OIL OR ACRYLIC
- Prior to painting, tape sides of panel if you do not expect to paint the sides.
- Apply gesso to the wood panel. Lightly sand between coats. Clear gesso will allow the wood grains to show.
- To help protect the surface, apply to dry artwork a coat of retouch varnish for oils or acrylic varnish for acrylic.
WATERCOLOR
- Watercolor paper (140 lb suggested) can be adhered to the wood panel either prior to painting or afterwards using a soft gel medium (gloss or matte) to glue the paper to the surface.
- Watercolor ground can be applied to the wood for painting directly on the panel without paper.
- Varnish for watercolors can be applied to the finished work.
PASTEL
- Adhere paper to panel using soft gel medium.
- Apply fixative to finished artwork
PHOTOGRAPHY
- Photographs can be adhered to panels using 3M scotch spray mount artists adhesive.
