Tiny, tough and built to last. The Art Spectrum AlumaComp Aluminium Panel 6 x 8" is a 100% archival aluminium painting and mounting panel, 4mm thick, with one brushed side and one polished smooth side.

Art Spectrum describes AlumaComp as lightweight, extremely rigid and able to maintain its structural integrity, and recommends it for plein air painting. At 6 x 8 inches, it is the perfect pocket sized outdoor panel.

Panel Details

Aluminium panels will not warp with humidity or dent like canvas, which makes them a favourite for painters who work outdoors in changing weather.

Art Spectrum says to prime and paint AlumaComp with traditional oils and acrylics. Once primed, a 6 x 8" panel is ideal for a one hour oil sketch, a colour study for a bigger painting, or a jewel like miniature.

Why We Love AlumaComp 6 x 8"

• Archival. 100% archival aluminium, according to Art Spectrum.
• Rigid but light. Only 4mm thick and extremely rigid.
• Outdoor ready. Recommended by Art Spectrum for plein air.

How We Prepare AlumaComp

Wipe the panel clean so it is free of dust and grease, then apply your chosen primer in thin, even coats to the side you want to paint. Let it cure fully before painting.

Paint with Art Spectrum oils or acrylic paints, and browse gesso and primers for priming options.
