Thank you, I’ve collected a few Ampersand’s over the years from sales here and there and am not sure how they’d handle the multi-media I have in mind, but you convinced me it could work. Thanks so much 🌺

Oh wow that was very interesting to see how well the Aquaboard works. I’m glad to see that some of my techniques are suitable for painting with this surface. I’m a bit disappointed that the salt technique doesn’t work as well. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and putting this surface through the paces. I’m going to try this out just for the fun of playing around with it.

Interesting experiment. Of course, I'm not sure WHY one would just wash off your paint, though certainly I can see lifting it. now I'm interested to see how other media work on it. I recently picked up some small pieces just to try it out. They also now have a pastelbord, which could be interesting as well, and I've seen people get some interesting effects by carving into the claybord, which I suppose you could do with the aquabord as well. - although being so expensive, these boards seem like they are really more for finished pieces and not for play. Still, I'll have fun trying it out. Fun fact: I live in Texas, a few hours from where the Ampersand company is located. I wonder if they have a store at the factory, and whether it might be a bit cheaper there rather than buying it at an art store?

I like aquaboard. Very forgiving but different than paper. It isn’t expensive as having to framing art under mat and glass. Krylon clear coat finishes & preserves it permanently. I do not have success with masking fluid on it though.

Is it anywhere close to watercolor canvas? Or more closely to paper at all? It has the look of watercolor canvas in the colors staying on the surface and not fading after drying. Thank you for this demo!

it wasn’t like either canvas or paper to be honest, though there were similarities to both. The colour did not flow in the same way as it does on canvas.

I bought two of these boards to try it out. I decided to paint a detailed painting which had to be very neat. It looked very blotchy and not even. When I tried to put on multiple layers it didn't get better. The lifting was really nice, but that's all. I did forget to dampen it at first. I hope that will help if I use the other one.

I think the dampening is important, so I hope the second is more successful

Entertaining experiment. Thank you. I can see how a direct approach would work best. Also, from what I have seen from other artists, this surface seems to be great for mixed media, especially when you don't want to tape paper to board. For a more traditional watercolor approach, I think it would be better to make your own paper mounted to panel. Also confers the advantage of having a ready-made travel panel with real paper that (shouldn't) buckle. Have you tried making your own paper panels before with 1/8" MDF board and cotton paper, with acrylic gel medium or PVA as the adhesive? I'm wondering how a 140lb cotton rag would perform AFTER being glued to panel. I've heard another artist say she seemed to need 200lb+ to get the result she was after. I'm talking to a pro here, but maybe I've given you an idea 😃Thank you for the great vid!!

yes, I’ve done that and love presenting paintings in this way. Here’s a film if you’d like to see the process: kzitem.info/news/bejne/0aB40GiFnWqZmnY. I always paint first then glue down, only because I wouldn’t want to ruin tge panel and not every painting is a success! I found 140 lb worked really well.

@@LizChadertonArt Thank you! Wonderful of you to share your experience. 🙏😊 One day I will attempt to glue watercolor paper to thin MDF and then paint on it and see how it performs. Certainly would make sense if doing a larger painting while traveling... if it works!

Very interesting! I don’t think that the results justify the cost for me, I’ll stick to paper and the occasional Aquaboard I think!
