C15SP Claessens Linen Panels - FeatherLite 1/16" MDF

A single oil primed irregular weave linen for landscapes. C15SP Claessens Belgian linen is a medium textured, irregular weave linen with one coat of oil priming to allow more visible texture. The surface has little to no absorbency and is slightly slick which allows for greater paint manipulation and building of layers while colors stay true and luminous. This canvas is mounted to our 1/16" FEATHERLITE MDF panel, our original MDF panel but half as thick at only 1/16" thin. Our MDF panels are a double refined hardboard with no added oils. The back of the board is sealed with our signature gray melamine for a finished look that prevents warping and deterioration. Designed for the traveling artists who needs a lightweight yet rigid panel.

I love the initial slippery feeling of the surface when I start a painting, then it gets tackier and accepts my thicker paint easily. I like the linen because it seems to have more light bounce off of the surface and back through the paint. My colors are truer on this surface. I even order custom sizes on my larger paintings so that I can keep that consistency in my work. Thank you Raymar for a great product and excellent customer service!" - Jim Wodark jimwodark.com
