ABSOLUTELY ARCHIVAL Deep Cradle Aquabord™ is an archival, acid-free textured clay surface that absorbs watercolors like a fine paper. Colors retain their purity and vibrancy in a way that even the finest watercolor papers can never match. Aquabord is made with Archiva-Seal® technology, the most advanced formula for sealing wood to ensure that our painting grounds remain acid-free over time.

BRILLIANT COLOR & UNMATCHED TECHNIQUES
Get rich, luminous color and have complete control over your watercolors. Endlessly glaze and lift to underlying layers of color or completely lift back to white without damaging the surface!

WATERCOLORS & MORE
Uniquely absorbent Aquabord™ is perfect for watercolors and gouache. No stretching needed! Will not tear, shrink or buckle under heavy water applications. Also an ideal surface for casein, encaustic, acrylics and more.

FRAME WITHOUT GLASS
Unlike paper, watercolors can be sealed and displayed without glass, keeping colors and textures true to life.
