Ampersand's top selling surfaces, in three oversized panel sizes - 48" x 48", 48" x 60" and 48" x 72". Gessobord and Claybord feature 2" cradled frames made with premium grade 13-ply birch plywood for stability and a finished look. Made in the USA with 1/8" hardboard and Archiva-Seal technology.
Claybord features a kaolin clay ground surface sanded to an ultra-smooth, highly absorbent finish that allows paint colors to remain true - great for ink, graphite, acrylic, gouache, collage, egg tempera, airbrush and more!
Gessobord offers an acrylic gesso ground surface, lightly sanded that does not dull colors and provides brush control - best for oils and acrylics!
Unprimed Basswood features 2.5" cradled frames made with solid wood strips that can be finished with paint or stain. Handcrafted using a sturdy, non-flexible 4mm basswood top. Unprimed Basswood panels are sanded ultra-smooth and lack plywood seams, knots or raised fibers, providing a professional look. The surface is easy to seal and prime to a smooth finish and accept all types of painting grounds. Excellent for encaustic, mixed media, collage and wood engraving.
