I've just prepared some MDF panels for my next paintings. I got my local DIY with a cutting service to cut up a Sheet of MDF for me to the sizes I wanted. By doing this I have made a new friend and I'm sure he'll see me again. I like the size 16 by 22 inches (about 40 cm by 56 cm). It's nice for Landscapes. The DIY will cut any size for you and there will be no waste. The MDF panels have to be then prepared by painting a few coats of Gesso on them. I know this might not be the correct but I like to use blackboard paint. I'm able to sketch with a pastel pencil. When you paint over this the pastel it mixes into the paint. I like the smooth surface of the board. I usually paint with acrylics on these panels and put a light coat of varnish when finished.When they are put into a floating frames they look really nice.
