ACRYLICS

Claybord
Gessobord
Pastelbord

We highly recommend using thin washes of acrylics on Claybord. Or, try Gessobord for a less absorbent panel or Pastelbord for a surface with more texture and a toned ground.

AIRBRUSH

Claybord
 

Claybord is ideal for airbrush.

CALLIGRAPHY

Claybord

Ampersand recommends Claybord with this medium.

CASEIN

Claybord
Gessobord

Claybord and Gessbord are both appropriate for use with casein.

EGG TEMPERA

Claybord

Use egg tempera on Claybord. Compare with panels you are preparing yourself.

ENCAUSTIC

Hardbord

We recommend using Hardbord with encaustics because you need a rigid support.

GOUACHE

Aquabord

We recommend Aquabord for use with gouache.

GRAPHITE AND COLORED PENCILS

Claybord

Use graphite and colored pencils with Claybord.

INKS, INDIA INK, COLORED INKS

Claybord
Scratchbord
 

We recommend Claybord with inks because they can be easily erased and manipulated.

MARKERS

Claybord

Use Claybord with markers and frame without glass.

OILS AND OIL STICKS

Claybord
Gessobord

We recommend Gessobord for use with oils. Claybord may also be used but is very absorbent..

PASTELS

Pastelbord

We recommend Pastelbord for working with all types of pastels.

SCRATCHBOARD

Scratchbord

Use Scratchbord as a professional alternative to scratchboard paper.

WATERCOLORS

Aquabord

Use Aquabord, similar to cold press paper, for very wet watercolor washes.

New Claybord Ink Set! - $32.95
Formulated for adding color to scratchboard, these terrific inks create vibrant colors without leaving an inky residue on black areas. On Claybord & other fine surfaces, these inks can also be used for painting and drawing. What a perfect accessory to the Ampersand line and the new project booklets! Ink set includes 6 -.5 oz bottles in carmine red, yellow, light green, ultramarine blue, sepia and magic black repair

Claybord Tools - $54.30
Use the Ampersand tools to work with the Claybord panels and for scratchboard. The Claybord Toolkit comes with one each of the tools shown below, a piece of steel wool and a free piece of Claybord Smooth for experimentation. Tools are also available packaged individually

Steel Wool - $9.60
Our oil-free artist grade steel wool was designed for removing pigment from large areas and for creating tonal values. It leaves Claybord clean and white when used to remove inks, watercolors, gouache, etc. Each package comes with one pad of each grade 0000, 000, and 00.

Line tool - $21.35
Use the needle tool for parallel lines and easy cross-hatching. This tool has four needles tightly pressed together so you can create extremely fine cross-hatching details.

Scratch Knife Holder (with Two Nibs) - $14.35
Use this standard scratchboard tool for thin or wide controlled line drawing.

Wire Brush - $15.50
Use this tool for creating random textures including hair, grass and feathers. Many curved metal wires are held together in this wood handled tool

Fibre Brush - $24.40
This tool is used for creating gradual tonal values or crisp edges. It is fashioned out of fiberglas so that the pigment can be removed leaving soft edges. Use a soft brush to remove the dust because the fibers can cause skin irritation.

Claybord

This museum quality panel is coated with a smooth absorbent clay ground comparable to the clay gesso grounds used during the Renaissance. Archival, lightfast, and acid free, the panels are ideal for acrylics, gouache, tempera, egg tempera, pen and inks as well as for mixed media techniques, airbrush, and collage. The surface is additive and subtractive. Remove paints to add contrast, texture, tonal value and fine details. Perfect for any artwork that requires an extremely smooth surface.

Scratch bord

Scratchbord is a clay coated hardboard panel for scratchboard that is coated with India ink. Comparable to traditional paper scratchboard, except better – it’s more durable and easier to scratch into for cleaner and crisper details and lines. For added dimension, colored inks can be added to the white areas and then scratched again for additional highlights and volume. Artwork can be sprayed with Claybord Fixative allowing the finished scratchboard to be framed without glass!

Pastelbord

Pastelbord is a clay and gesso coated hardboard panel with a granular marble dust finish comparable to a sanded pastel paper except more durable and more versatile. It can be used with wet or dry traditional pastel techniques or with acrylics, and more! The coating is pH neutral and non-yellowing, making it a truly permanent museum quality surface.
Available in Gray, Green, Sand and White.

Aquabord/texturebord

Aquabord is a clay coated hardboard panel that gives watercolorists unprecedented freedom and control. Comparable to watercolor paper, this multimedia panel simulates the absorbency and texture of cold pressed but allows color to be lifted back to white easily while also leaving the richest, most vibrant color possible. This reworkable surface provides natural looking highlights, fluid glazes, transparent subtle layers, and the ability to lift color while the surface is wet or even after it is dry. The truly amazing part is that finished watercolors can be sealed with Claybord Fixative and displayed without glass!

Gessobord

Save hours of applying and sanding gesso with perfectly hand-crafted Gessobord. The thick acrylic polymer gesso ground has been sanded to an exceptional finish you’ll love. Perfect for layering, glazing, alla prima and impasto in oils, acrylics, alkyds or water-based oils. The surface is pH neutral and acid free.

GERMAN TIMBER PANELS

The timber body are made of plywood.

The front panel is expertly prepared using un-treated,

smooth polished beech wood. Before painting,

we recommend using a single primer or sealer.

The absorbent grounds/primers are designed for a variety

of painting techniques best suited for these panels.

As with all larger formats, they should also be primed

on the reverse order to prevent warping. Whether you use

oil or acrylic paints, or even mixed media applied

to the hollow side or flat side,

These German timber panels are for you.
