Designed for oil, acrylic, and mixed media artists, it delivers superior stability, vibrant color retention, and a smooth texture that supports both fine detail and heavy applications. Ready to use straight out of the pack, these eco-friendly, handcrafted panels are a trusted choice for archival-quality artwork. ## Description Ampersand Art Supply's Museum Series Gessobord is a truly archival surface for oil and acrylic painting. Gessobord is made from our premium warp-resistant 1/8" profile FSC-Certified Hardbord that is sealed and protected with our proprietary Archiva-Seal to prevent yellowing from Support Induced Discoloration (SID). Each panel is individually coated with a professional artists’ grade acid-free acrylic gesso for a slight, even texture. Artists choose wood painting panels because the surface offers more vibrant colors, allows for precise detail and is an overall better support than canvas for their artwork. Ampersand panels are strong enough to hold up to the most rigorous palette knife painting and heavy layers of collage and will not bow or flex like canvas. Only Ampersand builds cradles by hand with premium-grade, 13-ply birch plywood for maximum stability and a clean, finished look from edge to edge. Choose from 3/4", 1 1/2" and 2" deep cradles, offering support and presentation all-in-one. Gessobord is perfect for oil, acrylic, palette knife painting, plein air, fine brushwork, mixed media, and is also a great surface for mounting papers, photos, giclee's and canvas! All Ampersand Museum Series Gessobord panels are eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free, and proudly handcrafted in the USA Review: A Professional Standard for Permanent Works - Ampersand’s Gessobord is a masterfully engineered support that has become a staple in my studio. The Archiva-Seal technology provides peace of mind regarding long-term preservation, effectively preventing support-induced discoloration. Unlike standard gessoed wood, this surface offers a sophisticated, lightly sanded texture that provides exceptional brush control for fine detail work while remaining robust enough for heavier applications. The density of the hardboard eliminates the "bounce" of canvas, allowing for precise marks and stable layering. I particularly appreciate that these panels are ready for immediate use without the need for additional priming or sanding, which is a significant time-saver in a professional workflow. In addition to the ground being ready to use as is, it accepts basic lead carbonate in oil ground well, providing a versatile foundation for various layering techniques. Whether used for intricate glazing or more direct painting, the surface remains consistent and reliable. It is a high-quality, archival support that I trust for my finished works. Review: Very smooth texture - The boards are sturdy, and the finish was very smooth. I don’t like the texture of canvas and find it very annoying. These boards were very satisfying to paint on.
