Can your panel withstand the test of time?

HandCraftedThese panels come completely ready to use right out of the box. A component of the Masterpanels Renaissance recipe includes a top layer that renders the panel's surface mostly non-absorbent. This final step is critical, because when attempting to paint on a gesso panel with no further preparation you will find that most if not all of your paint will be quickly absorbed. Masterpanels.com has completely solved this problem by providing a secret, final layer that covers the entire surface of the gesso panel. This allows your paint to sit on top of the surface, and not soak into the gesso foundation.


Authentic Renaissance Recipe

This authentic Renaissance recipe has been passed down from teacher to apprentice spanning centuries. President and Chief Artisan, James Parkes Sulkowski acquired this knowledge from his father, Joseph H. Sulkowski who learned the craft during his years as a student at the Art Students League of New York.



Hand-mixed gesso made fresh daily




    Toned Surface

Aside from crafting each panel entirely by hand, what really sets Masterpanels apart is the option to have your panel toned with a variety of classical pigments. Currently you can choose your panel in Pink, Blue, Ochre, Raw Umber, Terre Verte, and White. This final toned layer seals the surface yet leaves the luminous quality of the gesso intact. You can also choose to have your panel with a clear final layer that leaves the white surface of the gesso visible.
