Museum Series Claybord is made using 1/8" true artist hardboard and features Ampersand’s unique kaolin clay ground formula similar in paintability to the clay gesso grounds used during the Renaissance. The surface is sanded to an ULTRA-smooth, highly absorbent finish, so your paint colours remain accurate and brilliant. Work the surface by thinly applying paint or ink, then remove it, reapply, and even scratch through it to add contrast, texture and fine details. Claybord is a favourite of both fine and graphic artists. Great for use with ink, graphite, acrylic, gouache, collage, egg tempera, airbrush, and more!

Description: Ampersand Claybord 1/8" Flat 11 x 14 inches
Apply paint and ink using brushes, sponges, palette knives, paper towels, technical pens, painting tools and an airbrush. Claybord is also an excellent printing surface and can be used for image transfers. With Claybord, paints and inks can be manipulated to vary tonal value, create detail, develop highlights, and correct mistakes. Various artist tools can be used, such as Ampersand scratchboard tools, hobby knives, razor blades, etching tools, sand paper, oil-free steel wool, and electric erasers. Claybord's clay coating allows using sgraffito techniques to cut into the surface and re-expose the white clay ground. The coating is 7 to 10 dry-mils thick, allowing multiple cut-ins or erasers. The smooth finish and the absorbency of the clay ground will enable the use of an abrasive like oil-free steel wool or sand paper to remove pigment without damaging the finish. While Claybord allows using traditional materials, tools, and techniques, it is also an ideal surface for mixed media and experimentation. Details can be added, highlights created, and mistakes corrected.CLAYBORD IS A FAVOURITE OF BOTH FINE AND GRAPHIC ARTISTS
