Canvas panel SMARTMAX Płótno malarskie 380 g/m² 40x40 cm 20 mm depth

SMARTMAX canvas panel Płótno malarskie 380 g/m² 40x40 cm 20 mm depth is a pre-stretched, primed painting surface designed for acrylic and oil techniques. The canvas is mounted on a rigid wooden stretcher with a 20 mm depth, providing consistent tension and a flat plane for painting. Its 380 g/m² primed weight offers a durable, absorbent ground suitable for multiple layers of paint and varnish while maintaining dimensional stability for studio work and finished pieces.

Advantages

The primed 380 g/m² canvas delivers a textured yet stable surface that accepts acrylics and oils without excessive sagging or warping. The 20 mm deep wooden stretcher ensures firm tension across the panel, enabling clean brushwork and controlled impasto. Being pre-stretched and primed saves preparation time and offers a ready-to-use support for both practice and exhibition-quality work. The 40 x 40 cm format is compact for sketching and studies while large enough for standalone finished artworks that can be framed or displayed on a gallery wall.

How to use

Unpack the stretched canvas panel and inspect the surface for even tension. Place the panel on an easel or flat work surface. For best results with acrylics, allow initial paint layers to dry between applications; for oil paints, follow standard drying and ventilation practices. If additional tooth or absorbency is required, apply one thin layer of acrylic gesso compatible with both acrylic and oil mediums and allow it to dry fully before painting. After completing the painting, apply a suitable varnish once the paint is fully cured to protect the surface.

Usage recommendations

Store panels flat or upright in a dry, temperature-stable environment to prevent distortion. Use protective gloves when handling wet oil paint and ensure adequate ventilation during oil painting and varnishing. For framing, allow sufficient drying/curing time to avoid adhesion issues between paint layers and varnish.
