Gotrick Triangle Wood Panels
Wood Birch Panel in a Triangle shape – 3mm birch wood panel, cradled with a 3/4 inch thickness. These unprimed triangle wood panels are appropriate for acrylic or oil painting. Priming the panel with a coat or two of gesso, painting ground or pva size is recommended before use, and is especially important for use with oil or solvent based paints. Use a clear gesso to show off the beautiful wood grain or use a watercolor ground for use with watercolours or gouache.
Priming:
Often, priming with a water-based medium will result in the wood grain swelling and creating a rough “burred” surface. This is normal. For best results, apply one coat of primer, gesso, pva size or Golden GAC 100 and allow to dry. Try using a watercolor ground to prepare your panel for use with watercolors or gouache. Golden Acrylics also makes a special Pastel Ground to prepare panels for use with soft pastels or oil pastels.
Once the first coat is dry, sand the surface with a relatively fine sandpaper. Once you reach your desired smoothness, wipe off any residue with a damp cloth. You can start your painting at this point, however we recommend applying at least one more coat of gesso, especially for use with oil paint. You may continue this process until you achieve your desired surface.
