Availability: InStock

Skip tedious prep with this sanded acrylic gesso panel ready for oils

Ampersand eliminates the tedious prep work that typically delays your painting sessions. Multiple coats of acrylic polymer gesso are hand-applied and sanded to a smooth, receptive surface that's ready for immediate use. This dense ground handles aggressive techniques without compromising, impasto holds its structure, glazes layer cleanly, and alla prima work maintains color clarity from first stroke to final detail.

The thick gesso coating provides substantial tooth for paint adhesion while maintaining enough smoothness for controlled brushwork. Whether you're building up heavy textures in oils or working transparent layers in acrylics, the surface responds consistently across different media and techniques. The rigid panel eliminates canvas flex, giving you stable support for precise detail work or bold gestural marks.

pH-neutral, acid-free construction protects your work from deterioration over time. The board accepts oils, acrylics, water-based oils, alkyds, and encaustics equally well, making it versatile enough to support experimentation across different painting approaches. You spend your studio time painting rather than preparing surfaces.
