Ampersand Aquabord Cradle Profile 16 in x 20 in x 2 in Deep

Aquabord with 2" Deep Cradle is made in the USA.

Aquabord is available with our innovative and elegant cradles that provide extra support and presentation all in one.

An archival, acid-free textured clay surface that absorbs watercolours like a fine paper, Aquabord allows colours to retain their purity and vibrancy in a way that even the finest watercolour papers can't match.

Endlessly glaze and lift to underlying layers of colour — or completely lift back to white without damaging the surface.

The DEEP Cradle panels come with 2" birch plywood strips that are attached flush with the back edge of each panel. The plywood sides can be stained, painted, gessoed, waxed or left unfinished to customize and enhance your work. Both cradle versions can either be used to paint on directly or as supports on which to mount watercolour papers, photographs, fabrics and prints.

Its unique surface works great with: Watercolour, Gouache, Casein, Acrylics, Graphite

Unlike paper, Aquabord can be sealed and displayed glass-free, keeping colors and textures true to life.
