Ampersand Art Supply Watercolor Painting Panel: Museum Series Aquabord, 1/8 Inch Flat Profile, 8" x 10"...

I got this for my sister as she is loving her watercolor paints. This is a great product for watercolor painters. The colors are so vibrant on it after it dries, it holds up to many changes that you can make on it and it holds up to consistent painting. My sister has made constant changes on her piece and still isn't finished with it, but this has held up to her consistent changes.

Ambersand is a gift of a company to have created a board for Watercolor that eliminates the need to "STRETCH" watercolor paper and all the fiddly stuff one has to do in order to paint with watercolors. This board is a BLESSING sent from Heaven. It also eliminates the expense and need for matting, glass and framing at the Arts and Crafts stores because you can purchase Ambersands Floater frames and do it yourself. Heres a hint....Galleries and Show Cases for your artwork will love the fact that these boards are lightweight and easy to hang. They come in so many sizes and I am creating so much more work now and no more WASTED PAPER!!!!!

Worked great for a watercolor class

Exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

I was excited to try this hard surface because I hate paper buckling when it gets wet. I am not happy with this aquabord. As I wet the surface before applying paint, bubbles appeared everywhere. I added color and everywhere the bubbles were the paint would not adhere. It left light spots everywhere. I kept going, trying to make it work. It looked blotchy. I always scratch away paint with an xacto knife to create tree trunks. When I tried it the surface lifted, gouging the area down to bare wood. Paint would not cover it. I tried gouache. That would not cover it. Maybe if you are a better artist than I am this might be ok for you. No more aquabord for me.
