Featured Artist:
"After years of the time consuming process of making my own painting panels, I discovered Raymar’s 56MC Cotton Canvas panels twenty years ago and have been using them ever since. The panels are consistently made to a quality that I was never able to achieve. Paintings I created 20 years ago on this surface look as good today as they did on my easel. The double primed canvas provides a surface that handles thin paint application as well as impasto. These panels are my go to for plein air painting where their consistent, familiar surface provides one thing I do not have to concern myself with while concentrating on changing outdoor conditions. The family at Raymar has always been a pleasure to work with, providing excellent service and always willing to cut panels to whatever custom sizes I require."
