Ampersand Claybord - 3/4" Cradled, 12" x 16"

Ampersand Museum Series Claybord features a kaolin clay ground formula similar in paintability to the clay gesso grounds used during the Renaissance. The surface is sanded to an ultra-smooth, highly absorbent finish so your paint colors remain true and brilliant.

Claybord is a favorite of both fine and graphic artists. Archival, lightfast, and acid free, the panels are great for acrylics, airbrush, casein, egg tempera, inks, oils, printmaking, graphic media and calligraphy, graphite and colored pencils and more. Paints may be applied with brushes, sponges, paper towels, bristle brushes, airbrushes and more. Work the surface by thinly applying paint or ink, then remove it, re-apply it, even scratch through it to add contrast, texture and fine details.

3/4" Cradled - Available with a 3/4" cradle for hanging with no additional framing. Edges are sanded, so you can apply your favorite ground to create an extra dimensional painting.
