Ali Cavanaugh
Once I discovered Ampersand Aquabord with the 2" cradle, it has been such a wonderful surface for my watercolors. The flawless pebbly surface of Aquabord takes layers and layers of pigment without wearing down. The paint is amazingly workable and removable on Aquabord. Also, it is so nice that I am able to display my watercolors without glass and that they don't need to be framed.
