## Overview

The Ampersand Art Supply UPWP150505 Unprimed Basswood Artist Panel features a smooth, seamless surface and a sturdy 1-1/2" cradled profile, ensuring durability and support for various artistic techniques. Crafted from premium basswood, this panel is designed for artists seeking quality and versatility in their work.

## Description

Are you frustrated with the quality of many wood panels? Compared with other raw surfaces on the market, Ampersand's Unprimed Basswood Artist Panel painting panel is free of plywood seams, knots or troublesome raised fibers providing the cleaner, more professional look that artists want. The Unprimed Basswood panel is handcrafted using a sturdy, non-flexible 4mm basswood top, sanded perfectly smooth and ready to seal and prime with the ground of your choice. Basswood is a premium, select wood that outperforms the typically used birch plywood in many ways. It is inherently smoother with a tight wood grain and no raised fibers, making it easier to gesso and paint on. Basswood is ultra-stable and will not give, bend or flex. The 1.5" profile Unprimed Basswood panel is simple to hang or frame. The support frames are made with quality solid wood strips that can be finished with paint or stain. The cradled back allows you to attach hanging hardware and display your artwork easily - without a frame! Unprimed Basswood is great for encaustic, mixed media, collage and wood engraving. The tight grain of the Ampersand Unprimed Basswood panels makes them the preferred choice for finely detailed wood burning / pyrography. All wood should be sealed and primed before painting. You can use clear gesso to see the wood grain through the sealer and primer.

## Features

- SMOOTH SURFACE WITHOUT IMPERFECTIONS: Ampersand’s Unprimed Basswood Panel has no seams, distinct knots, or "football" patches and has no problematic fiber raising
- CRADLED PROFILE: 1-1/2" High density solid wood cradles provide extra support to protect your art and prevent warping
- STRONGER THAN BIRCH AND BALSA: Sturdy 4mm Premium Basswood surface offers superb durability, compared with other plywood panel
- STRENGTH AND VERSATILITY: Unprimed Basswood is perfect for priming and painting, mixed media, mounting, collage, wood burning, and encaustic painting techniques.
- QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP: Unparalleled quality and craftsmanship has made Ampersand Art supply the leader in painting panels for over 25 years.

I love the Ampersand panels and you just can’t go wrong ordering from Hyatt’s Graphic Supply Co. They truly are a quality art supply company!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    High quality panels! But be weary of ordering online.
  

*by G***V on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022*

I’ve been using these panels for years and they’ve always been excellent. They work well with acrylics and hold up over the years. But be weary of ordering online. Have never had issues in the past, I’ve ordered several on here and they’ve always been well packaged. For whatever reason my last one came in a bubble mailer. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that basswood isn’t exactly a hardwood and easily dents or damages if dropped or tossed around. Usually a small dent is fixable but this panel was entirely unusable.
