Aquabord™ features
An Amazing Watercolor Surface
Achieve truer, brighter colors, endless glazes, and easily lift colors back to the white of the surface to create depth and highlights.
Frame Without Glass
Unlike watercolor papers, Aquabord allows artists to frame and display their watercolor artwork without glass.
High-Density Hardbord™ Core
Aquabord will not tear, shrink, or buckle even under heavy water application. No stretching or mounting is required making it a perfect surface for plein air.
Truly Archival
Sealed and protected with our proprietary Archiva-Seal™ barrier technology to prevent yellowing from Support Induced Discoloration (SID).
Eco-Friendly and Artist Safe
Central to Ampersand’s mission is to ensure that our products do not harm the environment or the artists who use them. Both our domestic and imported panels are made from FSC-certified forest products that promote sustainable forests and are also free from formaldehyde or harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), unlike other hardboards and MDF boards.
Made in the USA
Proudly handcrafted in our factory in Buda, Texas. Unparalleled quality and craftsmanship have made Ampersand Art Supply the leader in painting panels for over 25 years.
