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. |
Casein | Claybord™ Gessobord™ |
Claybord and Gessobord are both appropriate for casein. |
Egg Tempera | Claybord™ | Use egg tempera on Claybord. Compare with panels you are preparing yourself. |
Encaustic | Encausticbord™ | Encausticbord is made for the unique demands of encaustic painting. |
Gouache | Aquabord™ | We recommend Aquabord for gouache. |
Graphite & Colored Pencils | Claybord™ | Use graphite and colored pencils with Claybord. |
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 & Oil Sticks | Claybord™ Gessobord™ |
We recommend Gessobord with oils. Claybord can also be used, but is very absorbent. |
Pastels | Pastelbord™ | We recommend Pastelbord 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. |
