Similar size in wood: the 20 x 25cm Wooden Panel.

The classic 8 x 10, reinvented in metal. The Art Spectrum AlumaComp Aluminium Panel 8 x 10" is a 100% archival aluminium painting and mounting panel, 4mm thick, brushed on one side and polished smooth on the other.

8 x 10 inches is the timeless size for portrait heads, still lifes and outdoor studies, and AlumaComp gives it a surface that stays dead flat and true.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Go thin and smooth for portraits. On the polished side, a few very thin coats of primer, sanded lightly between coats, give a glass smooth finish. It is a dream for soft skin tones and fine blending where canvas weave would get in the way.

A painting and mounting panel.

Art Spectrum describes AlumaComp as a painting and mounting panel, so as well as painting directly onto a primed surface, you can use it as a rigid backing to mount finished work on paper or canvas.

Because aluminium will not move with humidity, it is a great surface for paintings you want to last. It also fits standard 8 x 10 inch frames.

Why We Love AlumaComp 8 x 10"

  • Timeless size. Fits standard 8 x 10 inch frames.
  • Smooth as you like. The polished face suits fine, blended work.
  • Paint or mount. Use it as a painting surface or a rigid backing.
  • Light and rigid. 4mm aluminium that stays flat.

How We Use It

Clean the panel, prime the face you want with thin coats, and let it cure. For mounting, follow your adhesive maker's instructions.

Pair it with Art Spectrum oils for portrait studies, or explore our other painting panels.
