Designed for professional artists, it supports wet and dry media including pastels, charcoal, pencils, and acrylics. Its pH neutral, non-yellowing surface and warp-resistant backing provide a durable, archival-quality foundation. Available in four classic tones and sold in packs of four, it offers superior layering, blending, and control unmatched by traditional pastel papers. ## Description Ampersand Museum Series Pastelbord is a professional, museum-quality pastel panel engineered for artists who want more layering power, cleaner detail, and greater control than pastel paper or pastel pads can offer. Its medium-textured marble-dust finish provides superior tooth that holds significantly more layers of soft or hard pastels—ideal for rich color buildup, smooth gradients, and deep blending. The tooth also works beautifully with charcoal, colored pencil, graphite, conté, and other dry-pigment media, making Pastelbord a dependable pastel board and dry media art panel for detailed illustration and fine art. The absorbent clay-and-gesso ground supports both wet and dry applications. Use acrylic, watercolor, casein, ink, or mixed media to create underpaintings or tone the surface—especially on white Pastelbord—without the buckling or movement common with pastel paper. The rigid 1/8"" Hardbord backing stays perfectly flat, offering stable control for realism, portrait work, landscapes, florals, still life, and plein-air pastel painting. Because it is a true panel, it requires no mounting board or backer and frames cleanly behind glass. Pastelbord is available in **four classic tones—Grey, Sand, White, and Green—**allowing artists to begin with an immediate color foundation. White panels can also be custom-toned with thin washes for expanded palette options. Built on Ampersand’s premium, warp-resistant FSC-Certified Hardbord™ and sealed with Archiva-Seal™, Pastelbord provides a durable, archival foundation for professional pastel work, mixed media, drawing, and illustration. Proudly handcrafted in the USA, it is a long-lasting alternative to sanded pastel paper, pastel pads, toned pastel paper, drawing boards, and other pastel painting surfaces. ## Features - Gesso and clay coated hardboard panel with granular marble dust finish - Similar to a sanded pastel paper but much more durable - Coating is ph neutral and non-yellowing - Can be used with wet or dry pastel techniques or acrylics - 5 x 7 inches - 1/8 inch depth - pack of 4 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0054DIETM | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,617 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #1 in Pastelboard | | Brand Name | Ampersand Art Supply | | Color | Assorted - 1/8 Inch Depth | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (514) | | Item Dimensions L x W | 7"L x 5"W | | Item Type Name | Museum Series Pastelbord | | Item Weight | 0.51 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Ampersand Art Supply | | Manufacturer Part Number | PB405 | | Material Type | Wood, Kaolin Clay, Marble Dust | | Model Number | PB405 | | Number of Items | 4 | | Paint Type | Acrylic,Watercolor | | Shape | rectangular | | Size | 5X7 Pack of 3 | | UPC | 707310060556 | | Unit Count | 4.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Contact manufacturer for warranty information | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ampersand Art Supply - **Color:** Assorted - 1/8 Inch Depth - **Item Weight:** 0.51 Pounds - **Material:** Wood, Kaolin Clay, Marble Dust - **Product Dimensions:** 7"L x 5"W ## Images ![Ampersand Museum Series Pastelbord for Pastels, Charcoal, Pencils and Ink, Assorted Colors, 1/8 Inch Depth, 5X7 Inch, Pack of 4 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lPE00ivbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ampersand Art Supply Pastel Painting Panel: Museum Series Pastelbord, 5" x 7" - Pack of 4, Assorted Colors, 1/8 Inch Flat Profile - Ampersand Art Supply Pastel Painting Panel: Museum Series Pastelbord, 8" x 10", Sand, 1/8 Inch Flat Profile - Ampersand Art Supply Pastel Painting Panel: Museum Series Pastelbord, 8" x 10", Grey, 1/8 Inch Flat Profile --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/13330556-ampersand-museum-series-pastelbord-for-pastels-charcoal-pencils-and-ink](https://www.desertcart.us/products/13330556-ampersand-museum-series-pastelbord-for-pastels-charcoal-pencils-and-ink) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
