Ampersand Museum Series Aquabord is an acid-free textured clay
surface that absorbs watercolours like a fine paper. Colours retain
their purity and vibrancy in a way that even the finest of
watercolour papers can never match. When compared with watercolour
paper, this multimedia panel simulates the absorbency and texture
of a cold pressed surface, but allows colour to be lifted back to
white easily while also leaving the richest, most vibrant colour
possible. This workable surface provides natural looking
highlights, fluid glazes, transparent subtle layers, and the
ability to lift colour while the surface is wet or even after it is
dry. Uniquely absorbent Aquabord is perfect for watercolours and
gouache, but is also ideal for casein and acrylics. It will not
tear, shrink or buckle even under heavy water application.
Ampersand Aquabord is archival and eco-friendly. Seal finished
watercolours or gouache with several light coats of spray varnish
(or fixative), being careful to spray outdoors during warmer months
or in a well ventilated and heated area during colder times of the
year. Aquabord is available in a 3mm flat panel for standard
framing behind glass and in a 22mm cradle profile for either
frameless presentation or for use with floater frames. For best
results, it’s a good idea to first “flush out” the surface of the
panel with water using a large flat watercolour brush to release
trapped air. Once the surface is slightly damp, it is ready to use.
Rewetting may be needed as you work. Note that heavy water
applications may release more air. Use a blow dryer to dry and also
to dissipate air if needed.
