Artefex Panels - Best Rigid Supports for Oil Painting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Artefex produces high-quality rigid supports for oil painting. In this video, I compare their oil primed linen on aluminum composite panels (ACM panels), oil primed aluminum Oleopanels, and copper panels.
ACM panels are a relatively new support in the history of painting but show promise as a stable support for paintings because they are unlikely to warp and don’t react to relative humidity (RH) or temperature fluctuations, unlike stretched canvas. The linen is adhered to the panels with BEVA 371 film, an archival and reversible heat-activated glue.
Oleopanels are ACM panels primed with a lead white oil ground (no canvas). They come in 2 finishes, eggshell or smooth, which both offer slight texture.
Copper panels have been used for hundreds of years and have proven to be excellent supports due to having a low response to RH and temperature fluctuations. Check out The National Gallery’s video with examples of paintings on copper here: • A curated look: why ar...
Artefex ACM panels and Oleopanels are ready to be painted on while the copper panels can be primed or painted on directly. Lead Alkyd Ground is recommended for priming because it adheres well to non-absorbent surfaces like metal. Copper panels may also be sanded with 300 gsm sandpaper or higher (i.e. extra fine) to adjust shine and add “tooth.”

I would love to see how the copper panels will enhance your wildlife paintings. Especially the Koi, eyes, and water. You're an amazing artist.
Thank you!
I have one of these copper panels and can't wait to use it. After watching your video I think I'll sand it, it looks great! I'd never thought about doing that. thank you!
@@CristinaGarcia-jy8js I also like the sanded look - hope it goes well!
Like always, great information. I’m wondering, what kind of surfaces do you use for practicing/learning? Do you have any recommendations how to store oil paintings while they dry and after they dry? For both, final pieces and practice ones. I’m trying to find surfaces that are easy to store and also inexpensive for practicing. I’m leaning to paper and unstretched canvas/linen for practicing.
thank you, Juan-Carlos! For practicing, I use rolls of canvas like this one: bit.ly/12oz-60in-primed-cotton-canvas -- it's 60-inch acrylic primed cotton canvas that you can buy by the yard. There are other options and different sizes but something like this that is relatively inexpensive is great. You can cut off however much you want to work on then tape it to a board or table and voilà, good to go. I've started putting flat pieces of cardboard in front of paintings while they're drying on the easel to minimize floaters sticking to them. For practice paintings, I just leave them out flat wherever they are or use push pins and stick them to the wall. Storing dry paintings: I keep them upright, cover them in palette wrap, and put cardboard between them.
@@NikitaCoulombe thank you so much for answering my question(s). Great tips and I’ll keep them in mind.
He there. I just have a question on the acm aluminium panels. If you prime them with gesso are they gonna be a good sirface to paint on or is it a must to use lead primer?
Can i paint on the sanded acm panels without Any priming? Thanks
@@Mohamed-tr7fi Hi Mohamed, Artefex recommends applying lead oil primer. I want to say they also tested Golden’s acrylic gesso and it was OK too but you might want to double check with them. As far as painting directly on aluminum they say, “We do not recommend painting directly on unprimed aluminum. Think of your aluminum panels as the stretcher bars on traditional stretched canvas. It’s what supports the surface you paint on, not the painting surface itself.” Hope that helps!
@@NikitaCoulombe yeah thank you so much.
@@NikitaCoulombe i am from a different country so i can't get artefex products or lead primer where i live that's why i was asking about gessoing the panels myself. And are they archival?
@@Mohamed-tr7fi that makes sense. The ACM panels are archival. You can learn more on their site: artefex.biz/blog/
