The Shynek 54-pack is tailored for large-scale events like "Sip and Paint" parties or art classes. The 8 x 10 inch boards are constructed by mounting cotton canvas onto a recycled paperboard core. This design makes the panels more rigid than thin paper but more compact than traditional stretched canvases, which is a benefit for those with limited storage space.
Specifications indicate that the surfaces are triple-primed with acid-free acrylic gesso. This priming helps maintain the vibrancy of your colors over time by preventing the paint from soaking directly into the core. The wooden easels are made of lightweight pine and utilize a wingnut tensioner. Adjusting and tightening these nuts before use helps provide a more secure hold for the 8 x 10 boards during active painting sessions.
The kit includes synthetic nylon brushes with aluminum ferrules. While designed for introductory use, these brushes are easy to clean with water. Because the core of the boards is made of recycled paperboard, it is best to avoid saturating them with excessive water to help maintain their flat shape. The flat-pack design of the entire set is highly efficient for organizers who need to transport supplies to different locations.
If your project requires a much smaller, more focused canvas size, you may find the Fixsmith 3x5 inch canvas panels to be a better fit.
