Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel!

Welcome back to dad! 🎉 Stephen is teaching again, and we were able to film this quick test video on the fly this week. We run a beginner art course here at the school, and have always used Fredrix boards. However, they have recently decided to stop selling to Australia, likely due to transportation costs. This means we need a new board brand!

In today's video, we tested two canvas panel brands you can easily get in an art store: Create Art and Be Creative. Which one will reign supreme?! You gotta watch and find out (the result surprised us both!)

You might want to use different techniques with these boards. For us, testing canvas panel boards using the wipe-back technique tells us all we need to know. This is our main concern when teaching new students how to use oil paints, as they need to achieve successful results.

Thank you for watching and supporting our channel,

➤ A little more about The Gold Coast Art School:
Since 1995, we've been teaching creatives how to successfully paint and draw (even when they think they can't!) We have classes for beginners and intermediates, and welcome advanced artists too. Many of our students love coming to our school not only for the depth of knowledge our tutors bring to each session, but for our relaxed and welcoming community feel. Our adult art students usually use oil paints, but we encourage any medium, including acrylics, pastels and watercolours. Check out our social media and website for info, or email/call us any time to chat to Jess and book your spot in our next class!
