Canvas boards give you the texture and tooth of real canvas without the bulk or cost of a stretched, framed canvas. The firm backing means you can paint standing up, resting the board flat on a table, or propped on an easel, and there's no wooden frame to worry about denting or warping over time. The square 12x12 format is a favourite for symmetrical compositions, portraits and pieces meant to hang as part of a matching set.

Whether you're working through a series of studies, teaching a painting class, or just want an affordable surface to experiment on without the commitment of a large stretched canvas, a 12x12 board is an easy size to keep several of on hand.

Give the surface a light wipe before you begin if you plan to use very wet washes, and let each layer dry fully between coats for the cleanest results. Store boards flat or upright in a dry spot to keep them from bowing.
