| 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. |
