Copper Art Panel Features
- Premium Copper Construction: We craft our panels from high-quality copper, renowned for its outstanding durability and resistance to corrosion. We design each panel to withstand environmental changes, ensuring your artwork remains intact for generations. When varnished, copper can become one of the most durable painting surfaces.
- Panel Composition: Additionally, we deoxidize commercially pure copper with phosphorus to maintain a relatively high content of this element. This alloy is not susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. The conductivity of this copper alloy is relatively low due to the high phosphorus content. The chemical composition of phosphorus-deoxidized, high residual phosphorus copper alloy (Cu-DHP) is a minimum of 99.85% copper (Cu) and 0.013 to 0.050% phosphorus (P). This alloy is classified as Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) C1220 and American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) C12200.2) – 3003 aluminum alloy, an aluminum-manganese alloy, is a general-purpose alloy with moderate strength, good workability, and good corrosion resistance. Manufacturers commonly roll and extrude it. They also use it frequently in sheet metal applications such as gutters, downspouts, roofing, and siding. The chemical composition of 3003 aluminum alloy is:
Aluminum: 96.8 to 99%
Copper: 0.05 to 0.20%
Iron: 0.70% max
Manganese: 1.0 to 1.5%
Silicon: 0.6% max
Zinc: 0.1% max
- Smooth and Polished Surface: The unique copper panel allows for detailed brushwork, providing artists with a medium that supports intricate designs and vibrant, lasting colors.
- Archival Quality: Artefex Copper Artist Panels are engineered to provide an archival-quality foundation, preserving the integrity of your artwork over time. The copper naturally prevents the growth of bacteria and mold, maintaining the original appearance of your creation. We have thousands of examples of copper paintings. These paintings have lasted for generations and you can find examples in most museums.
- Versatility in Mediums: Whether you prefer oils, acrylics, or mixed media, these panels accommodate a wide range of techniques. The non-absorbent surface ensures that your paints retain their true colors and textures.
- Historical Significance: Copper has been used by artists for centuries, valued for its durability and unique aesthetic qualities. Artefex Copper Artist Panels continue this tradition, offering a modern take on an age-old painting surface.

How Artefex Copper Panels Enhance The Vibrancy Of Your Copper Art Painting?
At Artefex, we believe that every stroke of your brush deserves a surface as exceptional as your creativity. That’s why our Copper Artist Panels redefine what it means to paint on metal, enhancing your copper art to dazzling new heights of vibrancy and durability.Â
When you choose us, you’re not just selecting a copper panel; you’re embracing a professional-grade foundation that amplifies your artistic vision with unmatched clarity and resilience.
Why We Choose Artefex Copper Sheets for ArtÂ
Our Copper Artist Panels are meticulously engineered as a composite of a pure copper sheet laminated on one side with aluminum on the other, bonded through a stable plastic core. This unique layering creates a remarkably flat, rigid, and lightweight surface that far outperforms traditional wood panels.
Unlike wood, which naturally expands and contracts with changes in humidity and temperature, our copper sheets for art exhibit minimal response to environmental fluctuations. This stability preserves the integrity of your paint layer, preventing warping, cracking, or distortion over time, and ensuring your artwork remains as vibrant and flawless as the day you created it.
Our Commitment to Professional-Grade Art Support
We understand the needs of serious artists who demand precision and quality. Artefex Copper Artist Panels offer a smooth, non-porous surface that beautifully reflects the luminosity of oil paints. The natural sheen of copper subtly enhances color brilliance, giving your copper paintings a luminous depth and intensity that is difficult to achieve on other supports.Â
Our panels also allow for expert surface preparation so that you can apply grounds, primers, or paints with confidence and ease.

My panel was 11×14, not 18×24.. but the panel was great( although I did notice more small indentations than the 1st panel I bought). The copper color looks like it has a rose gold tint which is a beautiful look on any piece.
