Ampersand Aquabord Explained - Why use panel instead of paper for watercolor painting

Learn why professional watercolor artists choose Ampersand Aquabord over watercolor paper.

Why artists love Aquabord:
"Aquabord quickly became my favorite water-media surface because once sealed, my paintings do not need to be covered by glass." – Ali Cavanaugh

"Ampersand panels allow me to challenge myself as an artist, push my media to the max, and know that my substrate is quality and archival. I can get exceptionally radiant color and, in my watercolors, I can present my large-scale works without glass.” – Karen Vernon

✔ Truer, brighter colors
✔ Endless glazes
✔ Easily lift colors back to the white of the surface to create depth and highlights
✔ Frame and display watercolor paintings without glass
✔ Will not tear, shrink, or buckle even under heavy water application
✔ No stretching or mounting is required
