My Review of Wilson Bickford Canvas Panels

Originally submitted at Jerry's Artarama Art Supplies

Archival, warp-resistant canvas panels ideal for students and professionals alike! All too often, both amateur and experienced artists are forced to throw away artwork because it was painted on a poor substrate. Whether that substrate was chosen for economic or practical reasons, it is still a sham...


Best canvas panel ever, in my opinion!

5out of 5

Pros: Archival warp-resistant

Cons: Professional quality

Best Uses: Great for brush AND knife

Describe Yourself: Artist

Primary use: Personal

Was this a gift?: No

I feel my Signature panels are the best on the market. They're warp-resistant, archival and have just the right amount of "tooth" for any style. Great for Oils, Acrylics and Alkyds! I use these in my workshops and my students LOVE them!

New Instructional Packets
















I've been busy creating some new Oil Painting Packets over the past week, or so. Since I've had a break from my class schedule over the Holidays, it gave me a chance to put together a few more lessons.





These are all suitable for beginner / intermediate skill levels, with the "Classic Still Life" being the most challenging. ( at least in my opinion )





You'll find more info and details for purchasing at my website; http://www.wilsonbickford.com/
