WATERMEDIA FACED DEEP CRADLED BIRCH PANEL 16 X 20 X 1 5/8"

WATERMEDIA-FACED CRADLED BIRCH PANEL – DEEP 16" × 20" × 5/8" – AMERICAN EASEL

SOLD AS: Single Panel

This Watermedia-Faced Cradled Birch Panel from American Easel provides a specially prepared surface designed for watercolor, gouache, ink, acrylic, and mixed media. The watermedia ground allows artists to achieve watercolor-style effects on a rigid, non-flexible surface, eliminating the buckling and warping common with paper.

Constructed with a birch wood face and solid wood cradle, the panel offers excellent strength and long-term stability. The 5/8" deep cradle provides a clean profile suitable for framing or display, while the rigid structure supports detailed brushwork, masking, lifting, and layered techniques.
