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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
The basic rule is that you can paint with oils on Acryclic grounds but you can’t paint with Acrylics on an Oil ground.
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.
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.
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!
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.
