Painting Panel Koh I Nor 30x40 cm - rigid artist board for painting and drawing

Koh I Nor painting panel 30x40 cm is a rigid artist board designed to provide a stable, flat surface for painting and drawing. The standard 30 × 40 cm format is suitable for studio work, studies, sketches and finished pieces, and it fits common frames and portfolios. The panel accepts a range of media including acrylics, oils, gouache and mixed-media applications when used with appropriate priming or ground.

Advantages

The rigid construction minimises warping and provides consistent tension for brushwork and layering. A smooth, even face supports fine detail and uniform washes, while the firm backing makes the panel easy to handle during the creative process. Its uniform thickness and edge finish make it convenient for mounting, framing or attaching to easels without additional backing.

Suitable for

• Studio paintings in acrylics and oils

• Sketches, studies and finished artworks intended for framing
• Practice pieces, color tests and portfolio presentation

How to use

Ensure the panel is clean and dry before beginning. For best adhesion and archival results, apply an appropriate primer or ground if working with oils or if you require increased absorbency or tooth for drawing media. Tape edges or use a temporary stop to create clean borders if desired. Work as you would on any rigid support, allowing adequate drying time between layers for acrylics or oils, and avoid excessive saturation that might affect the board. When finished, allow the artwork to cure fully before varnishing, framing or storing.

Usage recommendations

Store panels flat in a dry environment to maintain flatness. Test a small area when combining unusual media or adhesives. Use archival primers and fixatives where long-term durability is required, and follow manufacturer guidance for varnishes compatible with your chosen medium.
