Have you heard of Poplar? Did you know the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci is an oil painting on an Italian Poplar painting surface? These painting panels are perfect for a variety of mediums including but not limited to resin art, acrylic paints, oil paints and more. The Italian Poplar art boards are a lighter weight than other surfaces, much more comparable to the weight of a stretched canvas. Our Poplar art panel’s top surface is made with 6mm thick A Grade Italian Poplar and is then bonded to a stabilising support backing frame made from premium grade kiln dried pine. The total depth of the square/rectangle board is 38mm (32mm frame, 6mm top) making it a great depth if you are adding a floating frame. (see Floating Frames on our website). The support backing measures 32x18mm for boards up to 80cm and 32x32mm for anything above 80cm. Any board larger than 50cm will have corner and centre bracing included. All of our art boards are made using FSC certified sustainable timber by hand in Melbourne, Australia
