Name: Ampersand Gessobord
Brand: Ampersand
Rating: 4.8 (773 reviews)

Made with Ampersand's own True Artist Hardbord substrate, Gessobord is perfect for all studio and plein air painting applications. Its fine tooth finish is delicate enough for glazing, fluid brush strokes, and tight detail, yet tough enough to hold up to the most rigorous palette knife painting, collage, and masking techniques. 

This premium archival surface is ready to use&nbsp;&mdash; no priming or prepping is required!  Pre-primed  with a professional-quality,  acid-free  Titanium White acrylic gesso ground for enhanced clarity of color, Gessobord is an ideal surface for traditional and  water-based  oils, alkyds, acrylics, collage, and mixed media. 

Flat panels can be framed or mounted. Cradled panels can be hung on a wall with no additional framing. The edges are sanded, so you can apply your favorite ground to create an extra dimensional painting. 

Made from sustainable forest products that ensure the protection of wildlife, plants, soil, and water, Gessobord is formaldehyde-free and contains no harmful volatile organic compounds. 

Gessobord is made in the USA.

Gessobord is Ampersand's surface for oil and acrylic painting. These premium painting surfaces are made with a unique archival seal technology that provides a barrier between the wood substrate and the painting surface. A professional artist grade of acrylic gesso is then applied so the boards are ready to use -- no preparation is necessary. http://www.dickblick.com/products/ampersand-gessobord/.

Ampersand FloaterFrames - Left Angle of Bold Face Black, White, Maple and Walnut frames

•	Solid wood floater frames
•	Available in four colors and multiple sizes
•	Choose from defined thin or dramatic bold profiles
•	Choose from 7/8" or 1-1/2" rabbet depths 
•	Hanging hardware included 

A do-it-yourself frame specifically designed for use with wood panels, Ampersand FloaterFrames are great for stretched canvases and flat panels as well! Every detail of the FloaterFrame has been designed and engineered to deliver a simple, all-in-one framing solution that protects your artwork while giving it the finished look it deserves. 

Made with premium hardwood, the Ampersand FloaterFrame features precisely constructed reinforced corners, a wider drill base, and pre-drilled countersunk mounting holes. All mounting and hanging hardware is provided to quickly and easily attach your artwork to the frame, including mounting screws, screw eyes, a hanger, picture wire, and bumper pads. 

The Ampersand FloaterFrame is available in two elegant styles — a thin 1/4" face and a bold 3/8" face. Both styles are available in 7/8" and 1-1/2" depths to accommodate 7/8" and 1-1/2" profile artwork. A riser system is only included with the 7/8" deep frames so a 3/4" stretched canvas or flat panel can be used.

__Open Back Frames__ - These frames are meant to be hung on the wall and are sold as just the frame face. They are not shipped with backing material, glazing material, or hanging hardware. 


Made from premium hardwood, these professional-quality frames have a wider base that eliminates damage to the panel cradle. A higher profile and deeper rabbet protect panel corners, too. The Ampersand FloaterFrame includes hanging hardware.

Pre-primed with acrylic gesso and ready to paint, Gessobord's fine tooth finish is delicate enough for glazing, fluid brush strokes, and tight detail, yet tough enough to hold up to rigorous palette knife painting, collage, and masking techniques.
