Joe's Prime Aluminum Painting Panel - 14" x 18"

Lightweight, rigid, and durable, Aluminum Painting Panels are the next best thing in the modern art world. Historically, master artists such as Rembrandt have used copper painting panels, which have withstood the test of time. Aluminum painting panels are acid-free and will not warp, bend, mold, or decay. Aluminum panels are also lightweight and thin, making storing and shipping more manageable than many other substrates.

Aluminum panels can be used for painting, mounting, support, and use en plein air. These panels are especially great for working in environments with changing humidity levels. Mediums prone to cracking are also a good fit for these panels, as the rigid surface will not bend.

Each panel has dual-sided brushed aluminum surfaces surrounding a lightweight composite core. Aluminum panels take paint and primers well due to the brushed aluminum texture, and paint can be manipulated easily due to its non-porous nature. Acrylic, oil, gesso, and mixed media are compatible with the panels, and your finished work is easily framable due to the thinness of the panel. Aluminum panels can also be used for mounting fine art, photographs, papers, linen, and canvas.
