Blick Presents Ampersand Aquaboard

In the following video, Elaine Salazar, president of Ampersand Art Supply discusses a product by Ampersand known as “Aquaboard”.  Aquaboard is an acid free surface that is perfect for use with Water based media like watercolors and gouache.  It is similar to cold pressed watercolor paper but there are some differences.  The colors on the Aquaboard will appear much more vibrant than on paper because the paint will not absorb into the surface like it does on the paper. Aquaboard will not tear, warp or buckle like paper can.  It is also much easier to lay colors one on top of the other.  It is also much easier to lift color off the aquaboard surface exposing the surface underneath.  The surface of the board can also be scrubbed without risk of damage to the surface.  Lastly, the final painting can be framed without using glass…  Learn more about this amazing product by watching the video presentation below.
