Ampersand Aquabord 11 x 14 each [PACK OF 2]

Claybord Textured, a 1/8 in. thick clay coated hardboard panel, offers watercolorists unprecedented freedom and control. Comparable to watercolor paper, this multimedia panel simulates the absorbency and texture of cold pressed.

This re-workable, acid-free surface provides natural looking highlights, fluid glazes, transparent subtle layers, and the ability to lift color while the surface is wet or even after it is dry. Sold as a PACK OF 2, Claybord Textured is a versatile medium that allows watercolorists to explore and experiment with their craft.

The 1/8 in. thickness of the panel provides a sturdy and durable foundation, while the clay coating creates a unique surface that reacts to watercolor in a way that is similar to traditional watercolor paper. This allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects, from delicate washes to bold, expressive brushstrokes.

One of the key advantages of Claybord Textured is its re-workable nature. Unlike traditional watercolor paper, the surface can be reworked and manipulated even after the paint has dried. This opens up a world of possibilities for watercolorists, who can experiment with layering, glazing, and lifting color to create dynamic and visually engaging works of art.

The acid-free nature of the surface ensures that the artwork will not yellow or degrade over time, making Claybord Textured an excellent choice for those looking to create long-lasting, archival-quality pieces. The natural-looking highlights and fluid glazes that can be achieved on this surface add depth and dimension to the work, while the transparent subtle layers allow for a sense of depth and atmosphere.

In addition to its technical benefits, Claybord Textured also offers a unique aesthetic appeal. The textured surface adds an element of tactility and visual interest to the artwork, inviting the viewer to engage with the piece on a deeper level. The versatility of the medium means that watercolorists can explore a wide range of styles and subject matter, from delicate floral studies to bold, abstract compositions.

Whether you are an experienced watercolorist or a beginner exploring the medium, Claybord Textured offers a versatile and innovative surface that can help you take your creative practice to new heights. Its unique properties and re-workable nature make it a valuable tool in the arsenal of any artist looking to push the boundaries of what is possible with watercolor.
