Artists have been painting on wood paint panels for centuries. Many old world paintings have survived due to the longevity of the wooden panels they were painted on. Wood panels offer a solid surface to paint on and are simple to hang and display.
Manufactured in the U.S.A. using 1/8" Baltic Birch facing with no seams or patches on the panel and Wisconsin kiln dried select basswood is used for the cradling. Finely sanded and ready for your primer or for use as a craft panel. There is no sealer or treatment applied to wood we use when our panels are constructed, and delivered to you. As such, as all natural wood products, they can warp regardless of cradling, and care should be given regarding the exposure of panels to variations in heat and humidity to try to mitigate the potential for warping. We do recommend priming the surface of the panel with at least one coat of an isolation primer, such as gesso or varnish, and we also recommend sealing the back of the panel with varnish. No current methodology can guarantee a wooden panel from warping, but sealing the front and back of your panel will absolutely insure a much better chance that a panel will not warp over time.
By default our panels come with a 90 degree edge. We also offer a beveled edge that has a slight angle on all the edges and corners of our panels, which smooths the facing of the panel near the edges. Don't want a 90 degree edge, and want a beveled edge? No problem, simply let us know in your order comments. There is no additional charge - just choose what you like and what suites your creative personality!

Here is what artist, Diep N., had to say about her most recent order of panels from Rex Art: "This was my first time shopping at RexArt, and it was a wonderful experience! The selection is amazing, and the quality of the panels is just perfect! They're beautiful, I almost don't want to put any paint on them! Since it was my first experience, I emailed customer support re:shipping time, and received a reply the very next morning. Couldn't have asked for better-I will definitely be a repeat customer, and will recommend to friends as well. Thank you so much for a great selection, affordable pricing, and good old-fashioned excellent customer service!"
