Artefex Lead White Oil-Primed Art Panel
Elevate your art with the Artefex Lead White Oil Primed Oil Primed Art Panel, meticulously engineered for the professional artist. We craft Oleopanels to deliver unparalleled performance, ensuring that your creative vision is realized and lasts for generations.
Uncompromising Quality and Craftsmanship
At the heart of each Artefex panel lies a two-sided aluminum composite material (ACM), composed of two durable aluminum sheets that encase a resilient black polyethylene core. The robust construction is designed to provide exceptional stability and longevity, resisting warping and environmental fluctuations. With a substantial thickness of 3mm (solid core), 6mm (Honeycomb aluminum core) or 1 inch gallery (3mm solid core), these panels offer a sturdy foundation for your masterpieces.
Exquisite Surface Preparation
We coat the surface of the Artefex Lead White Oil-Primed ACM Panel with Rublev Colours’ lead white Alkyd oil primer. This primer ensures a luminous, smooth application of oil paint, enhancing the depth and richness of your colors without the dreaded “sinking in”. The lead oil primer creates an ideal surface that grips the paint superbly, allowing for intricate detailing and effortless blending. Oiling out is one of the biggest complaints Artists have and the Artefex Oleopanel greatly helps with reducing the need to oil out. Check out the Rublev Lead Alkyd Primer.
Versatility to Suit Your Style
The panels are available in two distinct textures: Smooth (411) for a flawless, slightly textured finish, and Eggshell (410) for a subtle, refined texture that has more valleys and ridges. These options provide the flexibility to choose the perfect surface for your unique technique and style. Check out what Blair Atherholt thinks about his favorite 411 Oleopanel.

FAQ’s
Can I paint with oils on an Acrylic Ground?
The basic rule is that you can paint with oils on Acryclic grounds but you can’t paint with Acrylics on an Oil ground.
Do I have to varnish my oil paintings when working on these panels?
We recommend you varnish all oil paintings. It is important to to wait at least 6 months before varnishing, as it takes at least that long for oil paintings to dry. If you varnish, you will protect your art from the back and the front, ensuring your artwork has the best chance to stand the test of time.
Can I just paint directly on Aluminum?
We do not recommend painting directly on unprimed aluminum. Think of your aluminum panels as the stretcher bars on traditional stretched canvas. Its what supports the surface you paint on, not the painting surface itself.
Are the panels rigid at large sizes?
3mm ACM Panels are rigid up to 24 inches but are less rigid at larger sizes making them ideal for smaller art works. 4mm Copper Panels are rigid up to 36 Inches but can be made as large as 48×96 inches. 6mm Honeycomb panels are very rigid at even the largest sizes. In addition they are 60% lighter than a 3mm panel making them ideal for extra large works of art. Gallery panels are made with 3mm panels. Their unique design reinforces the panels in a way that makes them very rigid even at extra large sizes!
Do these panels get heavy at larger sizes?
3mm panel weighs 2.85grams/square inch (0.1 oz) 4mm panel weighs 4.9 grams/ square inch (0.17 oz) 6mm Honeycomb panel weighs 1.71 grams/square inch (0.06 oz), Gallery panel weighs weighs 3.6 grams/square inch (3.7 oz) Even the copper panels are relatively light. The lightest, 6mm honeycomb panels are by far the lightest panels standing at 19lbs for a huge 4’x8′ panel!
How do you hang or frame these panels?
There is a wide range of ways of presenting your artwork. Most commonly artist frame these panels. Though that is the most common presentation we offer a couple other options. Below you will find two hanging systems that we offer, C channel hanging system and the click on hanging system. Both are great for, the 3mm, 4mm and 6mm panels. The gallery panel comes with its own hanging system that you can hang on a wire.
Can I buy a unique shape not listed above?
Yes! in fact just send us a picture of what you need and we will see what we can do? We have made everything from arches to giant hand made cutouts.
Can i get a triptych or a series of panels that fit with each other?
Yes we have tackled some very unique projects. Contact us and see what is possible!
Do custom panels take longer to manufacture?
Yes we typically add at least a week to production with any custom shape.
Is it hard or expensive to ship these panels?
These panels are very thin and light, making them easy and inexpensive to ship. Keep in mind that shipping one of these panels is the same as shipping ten, so bundling can greatly reduce the per panel shipping cost.
Are these easy to store in my studio?
These panels, can fit in the tightest spaces in your studio. Being rigid, light weigh and very thin allows them to be stored in the most out of the way areas of your studio without being worried of ripping you canvas!
Can i buy a panel larger than 5'x10'?
Unfortunately the biggest panel we offer at this time is 60 inches by 120 inches. Though it is possible to attach the panels together, there will still be seam. We are working on providing solutions for muralists and other artist that work in larger formats.

We use 3mm thick ACM panels to provide the most durable, rigid, and long-lasting support for your art. ACM panels do not react to relative humidity and other environmental changes, providing a very stable support for artwork. For larger sizes up to 5ft by 10ft we use a 6mm thick Gridpanel.
We cut Artefex ACM panels to standard sizes but we also cut custom panels in any shape or size you don’t see above.
Finally we inspect and stamp every panel before sending it to you. This stamp represents an insurance policy not just for artists but for collectors. Your artwork is safe on an Artefex panel for generations.

Great quality panel, I love the smoothness if it. Really light and easy to use.
Linda C –
Your panels have spoiled me forever! I don't think I can paint on anything else!
Kathi P –
Love, love these panels. Smooth surface is perfect for me. Customer service is beyond great and feels personal. Received my order quickly.
Richard M –
Great product!
Russ K –
Excellent rigid surface. Beautiful surface
Michelle K –
I absolutely LOVE the Artefex Oleopanels. They are a real game-changer for me in my work. I particularly love the slightly textured 410 panels and find them perfect for wildlife and western work. They have a unique surface that I haven’t experienced in other panels- the paint both glides on very smoothly and the panel can also take many layers of paint without getting “glassy” and difficult to work. They’re wonderful!
Elena J –
This is an amazing surface to paint on.
I’m afraid I am now spoiled.
R. C –
Always a great product from Artefex: arrives promptly and in excellent condition, timely customer service, and impeccable surface.
Anna C –
I loved these panels, the customer service is always great! And I received them quick
Shawn A –
I actually bought the 8"x8", but either way, I really enjoyed working on this surface. I have never painted on any panel before and had a little adjustment period, but once I played with it more, it really worked in my favor. After I finish with the last few illustration boards I already have sized and primed, I think I will be a panel guy for life. After I am finished with the 9 Oleos I have, I need to test out the new extra fine smooth canvas surface.
Thanks,
Shawn

I ordered a set of Artefex panels because I had committed to the Strada easel challenge to paint from life for 31 days. I’m so glad I did. These panels are very close to perfection for an oil painter. They are solid with just the right tooth to accept paint. No additional prep is needed. Just a pleasure to paint on these. They are heavy though which is an issue for shipping or air travel so I like the small sizes best. I will definitely buy again.
Karen W –
I am currently participating in the Strada Easel Challenge for January, 2024, and I purchased 5 ACM Oleopanels with oil lead priming to try. So far, I have used 4 of these panels, and I love the smooth surface, which takes the paint beautifully, with no checking or sinking in. Thanks.
Emma C –
High quality product and high quality company! Thanks, Artefex!
Kelsey K –
These panels are the best! After using Artefex panels I can hardly stand to paint on anything else! No worries about warping, they are prepped so we'll, and paint goes on like butter.
Tom Q –
Really enjoying my lead primed ACM panels. Delivery was fast. Just completed my 1st oil portrait on the egg shell finish and loved it. A surprise feature was the rapid drying time.
Durhl D –
Artefex said a the best and ONLY supports I will use. Far superior to anything else. Don’t waste your money on flimsy canvas stretched on cheap wood. If you want your paintings to last, quit reading this and order you the best!
If you aren’t convinced yet, I paint in a very wet and humid environment. I ship all over the United States, the climate changes, humidity changes, bugs, dust, debris will not affect these panels. The packaging is crazy over kill, they are packing like they are shipping their children. I love the packaging! It is always fast, never had an issue. I just ordered 20 panels of which one was a custom size. Shipped and received in just a few days.
Karen B –
Surface feels great. I had ordered one eggshell and one smooth to try before I order more in larger sizes. So far, so good! Will be working with these 2 panels a bit more yet. Really like the feel and lightweight of these.
Steve M –
Really love the eggshell primed surface of the ACM oleopanel! It's a hard non-bouncy surface without grain, but enough tooth to paint vigorously with oil.
Chris B –
I really enjoyed working on this panel, trying it for the second time after experimenting with a smaller one from the sample pack. I’ve always liked paintings that had some texture (think Fechin) and this one, while still smooth enough for fine work, gives you a base of slight texture that creates interest and that you can build on.
