AlumaComp Aluminum Archival Painting & Mounting Panel 36x48", 2 PackSave Up to78%Off list
Starting At: 1.85
Silver 100% Archival / Unprimed Aluminum Boards - Acid Free- Adds Value to Your Artwork 100% Archival Boards - Acid Free- Adds Value to Your Artwork Great for Plein Air Painting - Painting on metal panels has been historically recorded since before the times of Rembrandt, who painted many of his great masterpieces on copper. In the last 20 years, professional artists have been moving towards working on aluminum composite panels (ACP), which feature lighter weights and stronger construction. AlumaComp is widely used for mounting fine art, photographs, linen and canvas to create an incredibly stable painting panel, or to use on its own as a reliable, archival painting support. The brushed aluminum surface takes primer beautifully, providing texture that grips the primer for a perfect bond. The smooth aluminum surface can be used as is to take advantage of its' beautiful finish, or custom sanded or polished for any texture necessary for your artistic applications. When used as a painting panel, the smooth side can be used as the work’s actual highlights for a modern look— either left bare as is, or sanded/buffed back to the bare metal before varnishing to take advantage of the metallic glow. Simply peel the screened film used to protect both sides, and let your creativity do the rest. Key Features: * Double-sided – one brushed aluminum, one polished smooth * 100% Archival Rigid and strong, yet lightweight * 4mm (3/16") thick * Acid-Free - Archival, will not decay * Prime and Paint in traditional oils & acrylics * Use primed or unprimed * Accepts most fine art media, primed or painted directly * Perfect for use as a mounting surface for photography, linen and canvas, even image transfers * Will not mold, or mildew like stretched canvas or wood panels * Can be Framed - No backing board needed * Sold Individually or in Boxes of 2 Perfect For: * Adding Value to Your Art * Plein Air - Lightweight & free from moisture * Professional Photographers, Fine Artists, Graphic Artists * Oils, Acrylics, Mixed Media, Watercolors * Art Prints, Inkjet, Screen Printing, Photos * Creating artwork with a fresh, modern look * Saving shipping costs to clients and galleries, due to lighter weight * Experimental and modern art * Working in environments where humidity levels fluctuate* See below for the larger sizes sold in boxes of 2: 36" x 36" - 18" x 72" - Also not for larger sizes, may need to support to prevent bending Professional Artist Eric Armusik "My work requires the highest standards and after 15 years of painting on wood i have abandon it forever after painting on AlumaComp, I will be painting all 40 large panels using this substrate as well as many more paintings, commissions and mounting of my prints", "It's an amazingly versatile substrate for those who want the smooth surface of a panel but are afraid to paint on something like wood which is prone to warping" Eric Armusik, (b. 1973) paints classical figurative art that fuses his life experiences with art history. His paintings are a declaration to the dramatic power of representational art. The origin of his inspiration does not lie in academia, but rather his childhood, surrounded by the vivid paintings he saw in Gothic cathedrals as a child. Eric doesn’t aspire to simply paint a figure; he paints a moment, a human experience, and an emotional dialogue that transcends culture, religion and time itself. See More -

The bright and velvety ground is perfect not only for encaustics, but for mixed media applications including oil paints and sticks, collage, image transfer, incising and more, and the durable bond offered by the ground means that fantastic textures and thick layers can be built up on its outstandingly receptive surface.

White Accepts Acrylics, Oils, Watercolors & Even Inks! Yes! Canvas is made from the finest cotton and primed three times to a super smooth surface. The canvas is so versatile that you can use any paint, ink, or marker you have in your studio on Yes! You'll find this surface works well with virtually any acrylic-based paint, from heavy body to acrylic-based inks. Yes! Canvas is also uniquely compatible with watercolor and water-soluble gouache. Traditional watercolor paint sits right on top of the surface, so you can lift the color, scratch into the paint, and apply layers for unique effects. Key Features: * 11oz weight, 100% unbleached cotton * Portrait smooth, fine weave * 1-1/2" Deep profile * Triple-primed with an acid-free all media primer Perfect For: * Painting with any media! * Watercolors, water-based inks, airbrush colors * Acrylics, markers, acrylic inks * Oil paint, shellac, and alkyds Jerry's Exclusive - Best Seller! The all media acrylic primer accepts watercolors, acrylic colors, oil colors, caseins, alkyds and egg tempera. For Portraits - Super realistic artists love Yes! because the surface is plate smooth and affordable. You can easily draw on the canvas because it's made with the finest close-weaved cotton and primed three times to a super smooth surface. But here's the twist you can also paint on it with any media! It will accept any paint, ink, or marker you have in your studio. As a Watercolor Surface - Many watercolorists draw with permanent marker as they create their base design. With this surface, you can draw right into your watercolor without feathering or smudging. A unique twist to this canvas is that you can draw with a permanent marker and use the lines to form a resist for your watercolors. This marker technique is very similar to the resist used for silk painting and is quite dazzling. For traditional watercolor painting, the color sits right on top of the surface, which allows you to lift paint, scratch into color, and apply layers for unique effects. This canvas works best with tube watercolor and provides rich, vibrant expressions. Acrylics and Watercolors - We don't know where art will lead you on this canvas. Still, you may want to start by playing with watercolors and gouache reworking and fine tuning until you finish the top layers with permanent acrylics. Of course, you don't need to use watercolors with your acrylics, but you can if you want. You'll find this surface to be fantastic with virtually any acrylic based paint from heavy body to acrylic based inks. Before applying watercolor, we suggest that you clean the canvas thoroughly with high-strength Isopropyl alcohol to remove any hand-oils from the canvas. Surface oils may have accumulated from manufacturing, packaging, or unwrapping the canvas. Cleaning the canvas should prevent the paint from beading up on the surface. See More -
