Ampersand Museum Series Gessobord Panels

Ampersand Museum Series Gessobord ™ is the most trusted pre-gessoed wood panel by artists

It's true. Ampersand Museum Series Gessobord ™ is the most trusted pre-gessoed wood panel by artists for their work. The superior, professional quality acrylic gesso ground does not dull colors, and the wonderful lightly sanded surface provides exceptional paint adhesion and brush control. The bright titanium white ground makes colors pop, or can easily be tinted with any ground color of choice.  Just unwrap and paint, no additional priming needed!  Choose from 1/8" Flat Panels, 3/4" Cradled, 1.5" and 2” Deep Cradled Panels, all made in the USA

Made with Ampersand’s 1/8" True Artist Hardbord™ and Archiva-Seal™ technology, the surface is acid-free, non-yellowing, and archival. Perfect for all painting techniques with traditional and water-mixable oils, acrylics and acrylic gouache, and even brittle paints like Egg Tempera and Caseins! A delicate enough surface for glazing, fluid brush strokes, and tight detail, it is still tough enough to hold up to the most rigorous palette knife painting, collage, and mixed media applications.

Only Ampersand builds their cradles by hand with premium grade 13-ply birch hardboard for maximum stability and a clean, finished look from edge to edge. Gessobord is manufactured from products that are sustainably forested, to ensure the protection of wildlife, plants, soil, and water.  Panels are formaldehyde-free, and contain no harmful volatile organic compounds.
