ASPIRE ART PANELS
CREATE BOLDY,
FLOW EFFORTLESSLY.
Designed for oil & acrylic paints, Aspire Art Panels® Gessoed Hardboard's ultra smooth surface enable you to build layers, create textures, and achieve stunning visual effects.
Here's what artists have to say about Aspire Art Panels®:
Creative Freedom
Crafted through multiple layers of thinly applied gesso and delicate sanding, Aspire Art Panels' ultra-smooth surfaces enable paint to glide freely while maintaining precise control over brush strokes.
Locally Made
Handcrafted in the USA, Aspire Art Panels® are made by artists for artists. We embrace a direct-to-consumer approach that strengthens our creative community and reduces environmental impact.
Built to Last
Following GOLDEN®'s panel preparation practices, Aspire Art Panels® are made using the highest quality materials available including DPI's high-density, tempered hardboard and GOLDEN®'s acrylic gesso.
Replenishes Forests
We've teamed up with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every order. With each tree capable of producing hundreds of Aspire Art Panels, a single tree helps plant hundreds more.

Meet Brendan Lehman
| Oil Painter & Founder of Aspire Art Panels
Five years into painting, I tried a wood panel for the first time and it sparked a shift in my artwork forever.
I began making my own panels in my garage, and in 2020, after months of trial and error, I shared them with other artists, whose excitement inspired the inception of Aspire Art Panels.
Since then, Aspire Art Panels has had a simple mission: provide surfaces that allow artists to explore the boundless magic of painting.

The surface was ready to go without any prep and there were no uneven textures that you might find on lesser quality panels... a 5 star item.
Joey Feldman
Gonzo Expressionist
During the first layers my paint makes all this crazy organic action and depth. My clients have been very happy.
Scott Dienhart
Landscape Artist
Using Aspire's panels really made a big difference. The surface is very workable and durable. Regular panels don't even come close.
Daisy Hernandez
Artist & Illustrator
The surface texture is so much more enjoyable to paint on than canvas. I'll only be using these from now on.

What mediums can I use on Aspire Art Panels?Aspire Art Panels are specifically designed for oil and acrylic paints, but are also compatible with various other mediums such as watercolor, gouache, ink, graphite, pastels, and charcoal.
-
Do I have to prepare my panel before using it?No, Aspire Art Panels are ready to be painted on without any preparation or additional layers of gesso. However, for optimal paint flow, we recommend applying a thin layer of linseed oil for oil painting or a flow improver medium for acrylic paint directly on the surface just before painting. Additionally, Aspire Art Panels are versatile and can accommodate additional groundwork or preparation if you prefer a more textured or altered surface compared to Aspire's ultra-smooth surface.
