Ampersand Artist Panels — extraordinary surfaces for your art
The Ampersand panel advantage
When you first try an Ampersand panel, you will soon discover that your color is more luminous and that you have more control over your brushwork and fine details. Ampersand’s flawlessly prepared rigid surfaces allow painting from edge-to-edge, eliminating unsightly stretcher bar impressions or the “trampoline effect” of ordinary canvas. We invite you to discover an Ampersand panel that’s right for you.
Paintings on and well-prepared surfaces will outlast those on flexible supports. All of Ampersand’s Museum Panels are handcrafted in the U.S. and are made with a solid core, highly dense true artist hardboard that makes them less prone to warping over other panels.
Tested to last more than 200 years, only Ampersands seals their hardboard with patented Archival-Seal barrier technology. This provides a superior archival barrier between the wood substrate and the painting surface. Visit Art Creations to discover the Ampersand panel advantage. Art Creations carries the complete line Ampersand Artist Panels—visit and try one out today.
