Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel!

This week it's all about CANVAS BOARDS. I'm starting to wonder if Australians call these things boards, while other places are more likely to say "canvas panel". Both are correct and make sense when talking about this surface you can use for your paintings.

When you're looking for art materials, you probably want to know "What are the pros and cons of using XYZ in my art?"

Fingers crossed this review will help you discover what will suit you best.
