Clay and Gesso Coated Art Boards Designed To Hold More Pastel Layers Than Any Other Surface!

Ampersand has given its Pastelbord line of primed wood panels a wonderful hand-applied marble dust texture that holds more layers than any other surface you use with pastels.

The Pastelbord art panel’s finish is comparable to a sanded pastel paper except it has more versatility and durability. Unlike paper, Pastelbord’s hardboard surface holds an extraordinary amount of layers and is a perfect surface for using soft or oil pastels as well as pastel pencils. You will find that your pastel colors go on smoothly, blend beautifully and remain rich and vibrant and that Pastelbord painting boards are exceptional surfaces for both wet and dry pastel techniques.

Not Just for Pastels!

Pastelbord artist boards make great painting panels for use with acrylics, oils, watercolor, gouache as well as other mediums.

Patented Archiva Seal Coating Technology

Like all of Ampersand’s museum series panels, the Pastelbord line of art boards features the patented Archiva Seal technology, a coating and sealing process that protects against support-induced discoloration.  The coating is acid free and non-yellowing, making it a truly permanent museum quality surface.

Ultra low-density construction makes Taskboard very easy to cut - Just one pass of a blade will produce a clean cut and an edge that is identical to the surface in both color and texture - perfect for invisible joints.  Natural and biodegradable Taskboard is made of sustainable forestry wood  and can be sanded just like wood.    Unique fiber stratification process makes Taskboard rigid yet enables forming with cold water or steam.   Create strong glue bonds using any glue, including white glue, hot glue or solvent based glue.   Color Taskboard with any water or solvent based paint, stain and finish.
