WATERCOLOUR BOARD - Ampersand Museum Series Aquabord 16 x 20 x 1/8"

406 x 508 mm x 3 mm thick

A unique, acid-free, watercolour surface created using a textured clay surface mounted on a hardboard backing. 

It absorbs watercolours like a fine paper, allowing colours to retain their purity and vibrancy in a way that even the finest of watercolour papers could never match.

This multimedia panel simulates the absorbency and texture of cold pressed (NOT) surface watercolour paper but allows colour to be lifted back to white easily while also leaving the richest, most vibrant colour possible.

This workable surface provides the ability to lift colour while the surface is wet or even once it has dried and allows the artist to create natural looking highlights, fluid glazes and subtle, transparent layers.

Uniquely absorbent, Aquabord will not tear, shrink or buckle even under heavy water application, it is ideal for Watercolours and Gouache, but is also suitable for Coloured Pencils, Acrylics and casein paints. 

It is Archival quality and eco-friendly, using true high density hardboard made from renewable and FSC Certified Aspen wood fibres, made without formaldehyde or harmful VOC’s (volatile organic compounds).

Made in the USA.
