Ampersand Gessobord is made using Ampersand’s “True Artist Hardboard™ and Archival Seal™ technology”. The cradles are hand built with premium grade 13-ply birch plywood which allows for maximum stability and a clean finished look. The superior gesso ground used does not dull colours and the lightly sanded surface provides an exceptional brush control. This surface is acid-free, non-yellowing, archival and perfect for all painting styles and approaches.

The Ampersand Gessobord is a pre-primed painting panel that has a semi absorbent gesso primer and a slight fine grain texture to its surface. The panels themselves are 3mm deep allowing for ease of storage and framing. The panel is perfect for use with Oil & Acrylic Paints, it can be used with most mediums including Modelling Pastes, Gloss & Matt Mediums and Texture Gels. 

We recommend this panel is perfect for mixed media techniques and can be used for fine detail painting. The semi absorbent gesso primer gives a beautiful finish that is perfect for oils and acrylics and we highly recommend using this panel for those materials. Because it is absorbent the panel can also be used with water-based media as well.
