Description
Museum Series Aquabord is a textured, highly absorbent surface designed for watercolour and gouache. Aquabord is crafted from our premium warp-resistant 1/8″ FSC-certified Hardbord™ that is protected with our proprietary Archiva-Seal™ and coated with an acid-free clay and mineral ground with a texture similar to cold-pressed watercolour paper. Colours retain their purity and vibrancy in a way that even the finest of watercolour papers can’t match and Aquabord allows artists to frame and display their watercolour without glass.
TIP: Apply a thin layer of water to the Aquabord surface using a flat watercolour brush to release trapped air. Once the surface is slightly damp and no more visible air is releasing, apply colour.
Size: 8in x 10in x 1/8in or 20.3cm x 25.4cm x 3mm (deep)
An Amazing Watercolour Surface
Achieve truer, brighter colours, endless glazes, and easily lift colours back to the white of the surface to create depth and highlights.
Recommended media & techniques
Acrylic, casein, gouache, ink, mixed media and watercolour.
Frame Without Glass
Unlike watercolour papers, Aquabord allows artists to frame and display their watercolour artwork without glass.
High-Density Hardbord™ Core
Aquabord will not tear, shrink, or buckle even under heavy water application. No stretching or mounting is required making it a perfect surface for plein air.
Eco-Friendly and Artist Safe
Central to Ampersand’s mission is to ensure that our products do not harm the environment or the artists who use them. Both our domestic and imported panels are made from FSC-certified forest products that promote sustainable forests and are also free from formaldehyde or harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), unlike other hardboards and MDF boards.
Truly Archival
Sealed and protected with our proprietary Archiva-Seal™ barrier technology to prevent yellowing from Support Induced Discoloration (SID).
Made in the USA
Proudly handcrafted in our factory in Buda, Texas. Unparalleled quality and craftsmanship have made Ampersand Art Supply the leader in painting panels for over 25 years.

Shipping & Delivery
Packaging
Every order is packaged in a way to protect your purchase. We have finessed this over the last 10 years to use fully-recyclable, non-plastic packaging that gives the biggest protection without using lots of resources. We do sometimes reuse packaging from stock deliveries, and this is the only time we will send with bubble wrap or other plastic packaging.
Shipping
We try to be as fair as possible with the postage pricing. We operate dynamic pricing, reflective of the current costs of sending post. The reason for our pricing structure is to ensure your parcel has the appropriate insurance and tracking to increase the chance of its safe delivery wherever you are in the world. The postage options that you receive are dependent upon what is in your basket and you will see them whilst processing your order. If you are unsure, please select the ‘Contact me’ option upon checking out, and I will get in touch so that we can proceed with your order.
December 2024 Update: Unfortunately we cannot send to anywhere in Europe or Northern Ireland at the present time. This is due to new product safety regulations. We hope that we will be able to ship there again in future. Everywhere else in the world is unaffected.
Any orders travelling outside of the U.K. require a customs declaration form. You will not be charged our U.K. VAT at 20%. When you go to check out and the website recognises you are not within the U.K., the VAT will not be billed to you. However, you will be charged your own country’s taxes and a handling charge when it reaches the destination country. This varies for each country. We are not responsible for any custom taxes or charges you have to pay on receiving your order. If you refuse the parcel on arrival and it is returned to us we will only refund the value of the goods minus 10% to cover the cost of administrating your order.
We will aim to despatch your order within 1-3 working days (Monday to Friday) after the order is received. Please be aware that I also work part-time alongside the business so cannot always respond immediately to email correspondence or messages. Same day despatch is not possible unless specifically requested by prior arrangement. We will keep you informed as to the status of your order.
