Save hours of applying gesso and sanding your own panels with perfectly hand-crafted Gessobord. Gessobord is a hardboard panel that is coated with a thick acrylic polymer gesso ground. The ground is sanded to an exceptional finish perfect for use with oils and acrylics. As with all Ampersand panels, the surface is pH neutral and acid free.

Ampersand Panels are prepared on 1/8" hardboard. This deep cradled Gessobord comes with a 2" support and is made just like the 3/4" cradled version. The braces are made of birch plywood and provide extra support, allowing you to display a finished work without framing. Many artists prefer these deep cradled panels since they provide a contemporary look to their work.
