DaVinci Pro Resist Grip Textured Gesso Panels

Thank you for contacting us. Clay board is traditionally used with Egg Tempera. You can view the Ampersand clay boards that we sell on this page of the website https://www.jerrysartarama.com/ampersand-claybord-panels Egg tempera is generally used on gesso grounds of hide glue and chalk over solid supports such as wood panels. You should easily be able to find mixes of dry glue and chalk, to which you can add water to mix your gesso, but you can’t purchase it in the liquid form. Glue grounds are easily worked into a smooth surface, they’re very absorbent, and their whiteness doesn’t discolor with age. But the drawback is that hide glue has a limited shelf life once it’s mixed, so you’ll have to mix it up fresh when you’re ready to use it. If you don’t want to mix your own ground layer, you could consider applying your egg tempera on paper supports. Paper doesn’t require a ground layer when using tempera paint, but its flexibility may become a problem (as with fabric supports) so you may want to use a paper board or some other auxiliary support to provide rigidity.https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-techniques/exploring-egg-tempera/ Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
