However, any ready-made frame (with or without glass) can also be used to enhance your artwork even more. You could even use a floater frame with your watercolor art! Key Features: * 140 lb.

AlumaComp Aluminum, 10"x10" Archival Painting & Mounting PanelSave Up to78%Off listSilver 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
