Oliver Winconek - Professional artist

“A beautiful smooth white surface to work on.”

"I was impressed by Cassoboard’s lightness and portability. It has a beautiful, smooth white surface that feels familiar and ready to use straight out of the box. The paint and brush moved perfectly across the board with no drag or resistance, while still feeling controlled rather than slippery."

"The level of control for detail and edges was excellent, and I felt complete confidence while painting. Compared with canvas, it offers a much firmer, smoother surface without unwanted texture or spring. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Cassoboard again."

Ola - Painter

“Makes every brushstroke feel exactly how it should.”

"It was a great surface to paint on. The board is lightweight but sturdy at the same time, and the surface is much smoother than canvas, which makes every brushstroke feel exactly how it should. It doesn’t require priming, which is another real advantage."

"I used to love painting on plywood panels, but they can be quite heavy - this is a much lighter surface and I would definitely use it again in the future."

Notes from the studio

“I like the smoothness and the rigidity of it. It handles paint very, very well - I layer from dark to light and it handles that really well.”
Maja Rybak - Acrylic Painter & Miniatures artist
“With a lot of canvas boards I’ve had to sand them down, I’ve had to prime them. With Cassoboards it came in and it was as if you’re working on paper.”
Nadia Adni - Oil Painter
“Even though this board is so lightweight it really takes a lot of beating up, and it’s perfectly in shape.”
Cherie Chun - Illustrator & Womenswear Designer
“I scraped off with a palette knife and it came off a lot smoother, with a lot less texture. It held its integrity a lot better than previous canvases.”
Emily Bartlett - Painter
