Canvas panel SMARTMAX Malerlærred (bs) 20x20 cm, 18 mm thickness

SMARTMAX Malerlærred (bs) 20x20 cm, 18 mm thickness is a compact pre-stretched canvas panel mounted on a rigid wooden frame. The square 20 x 20 cm format and 18 mm deep stretcher provide a stable, warp-resistant surface suitable for acrylic, oil and mixed-media techniques. Panels are supplied ready-to-prime or pre-primed depending on stock, offering a consistent, smooth working area for studies, small finished works, practice pieces and display in a gallery or portfolio.

Advantages

The wooden frame with 18 mm thickness ensures flatness and edge stability while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. The pre-stretched canvas surface accepts common artist primers and grounds and delivers good tooth for paint adhesion. The compact square format is convenient for rapid studies, travel sketching, and creating series of small works. Panels are less prone to warping compared with stretched canvases, making them practical for storage and framing.

Suitable for

• Acrylic painting

How to use

Inspect the panel surface before use and, if required, apply an appropriate primer or gesso to ensure compatibility with your chosen paint medium. For oil painting, use an oil-compatible ground and allow full drying times between layers. Fix the panel on an easel or flat work surface; the stable wooden frame supports brushing, scraping and collage without significant flex. Edges can be painted or masked for framing. Clean tools and brushes according to the medium used.

Usage recommendations

Store panels flat or upright in a dry, stable environment to minimise moisture exposure. When framing or mounting, use archival mounting materials to maintain long-term condition. For multi-layer techniques allow adequate drying time between coats and test adhesion if using heavy impasto or solvent-rich media.
