Featuring a warp-resistant core and a thicker-than-average archival acrylic gesso coating, it delivers a bright white, semi-smooth surface ideal for oils, acrylics, and mixed media. The 11x14 inch, 1/8 inch depth panel supports fine brushwork, palette knife techniques, and layering without dulling colors or warping, making it a trusted choice for museum-quality, long-lasting artwork. ## Description Gessobord is a pre-primed, truly archival painting panel for artists who demand professional quality. A superior alternative to stretched canvas, canvas art panels, and paint canvas, each board is built with a warp-resistant hardboard core and sealed with our proprietary Archiva-Seal. The surface is coated with professional artists’ grade, acid-free acrylic gesso, creating a semi-smooth ground that delivers vibrant color, crisp brushstrokes, and fine detail. Strong enough for palette knife techniques, heavy layers, and mixed media, Ampersand Gessobord is a professional-grade painting surface trusted by artists, educators, and hobbyists who need dependable art supplies for adults and versatile painting kit essentials. Built with a rigid Hardbord core, it serves as a superior blank canvas alternative that resists warping and delivers museum-quality results. Each panel is finished with acid-free acrylic gesso for a smooth painting ground that supports acrylic paint, oil paint, paint markers for canvas, charcoal, pencils, colored pencils, and more. Artists rely on it for everything from fine detail to heavy texture paste for canvas, giving them the freedom to experiment with painting, drawing & art supplies in one durable panel. Available in sizes such as 5x7, 8x10, 9x12, 11x14, 12x16, 16x20, 18x24, and even 24x36, full size range up to 48x72. Gessobord adapts to both mini canvases for painting and large blank canvas projects. Our cradle depths include 1/8"", 3/4"", 1.5"" and 2"". Whether used for professional commissions, art therapy, or creative hobbies, it’s equally suited for wall decor, art projects, or paint party supplies. Perfect for sip and paint party supplies or casual DIY crafts, these panels provide a stable surface where colors remain vibrant and brushstrokes sharp. In addition to fine art, Gessobord is excellent for crafting, wooden crafts, and projects using unfinished wood, wood plaque bases, wood boards, or wood craft supplies. Each panel reflects Ampersand’s commitment to high-quality painting supplies that artists can trust for generations. Handcrafted in the US, Gessobord is trusted worldwide by artists, educators, and creators seeking premium art supplies for adults.

Review: A Professional Standard for Permanent Works - Ampersand’s Gessobord is a masterfully engineered support that has become a staple in my studio. The Archiva-Seal technology provides peace of mind regarding long-term preservation, effectively preventing support-induced discoloration. Unlike standard gessoed wood, this surface offers a sophisticated, lightly sanded texture that provides exceptional brush control for fine detail work while remaining robust enough for heavier applications. The density of the hardboard eliminates the "bounce" of canvas, allowing for precise marks and stable layering. I particularly appreciate that these panels are ready for immediate use without the need for additional priming or sanding, which is a significant time-saver in a professional workflow. In addition to the ground being ready to use as is, it accepts basic lead carbonate in oil ground well, providing a versatile foundation for various layering techniques. Whether used for intricate glazing or more direct painting, the surface remains consistent and reliable. It is a high-quality, archival support that I trust for my finished works.

If heavy, I would recommend the latter approach. **Q: that is the price for ONE board?** A: These boards are priced individually, and our price includes the cost of shipping as well. **Q: How to "mount" sawtooth hangers on 6x6 board?** A: There is a half inch wooden border on the back of my Gessobard but mine is a 12" x 12" so plenty of room for a sawtooth hanger. I don't know about 6" x 6". I wire my boards which I think works best. **Q: Two questions: would these be suitable for block printing using a water based ink? 2) Do these have the little slot on the back for hanging?** A: Question 1: I'm not totally sure of the answer, but I would say possibly, yes. I have used acrylic on there, and I used a lot, so it held up pretty well under that.Question 2: No, unfortunately. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Professional Standard for Permanent Works *by M***W on February 28, 2026* Ampersand’s Gessobord is a masterfully engineered support that has become a staple in my studio.
