Yes, alcohol inks are permanent. Once they are dry, they are waterproof and will not come off with water or alcohol.
Yes, you can cut ampersand panels.
Clayboard is a type of hardboard made from compressed clay and wax. It is denser and harder than regular hardboard, making it ideal for cutting and shaping. However, because it is so dense, it can be difficult to cut through without the proper tools. A sharp knife or power saw is necessary to cut clayboard cleanly.
Yes, you can paint watercolor on gesso board. Gesso is a type of paint that is often used as a primer for painting. It is usually white in color and can be found at most art supply stores.

I won't ever use canvas again. These boards are great. I use them for oil, acrylic, and watercolor. Try using acrylic or watercolor to paint on them for some beautiful textures. Dry it off (or not if you want experiment.) Use water to mist. Add yet another coat of paint. Drop some rubbing alcohol on top, and as the paint moves to reveal the undercoat, observe what happens. Although you could accomplish the same thing on canvas, the amazingness of this clayboard is unmatched.

Ampersand's Claybords are incredibly smooth and great to use with almost any media.The significantly increased absorbency of these panels produces a new and intriguing outcome, even with oil painting, which they aren't really intended for. Because you'll wind up with a duller oil finish rather than the high luminosity of oil paints on a more conventionally prepared surface, in some oil painting works, that great absorbency isn't advantageous.These panels are ideal for mixed-media applications. Inks, graphite, and paint can all be used, and various tools can be used to scrape through them to produce varied effects. Mistakes can even be "erased" (or changes of heart). They are perfect for mixed media displays because they are extremely simple to attach objects to.White clay with a finely textured and extremely smooth finish is applied to the Claybord panels. The clay's thickness is described by the producer as "7 to 10 dry-mils." I was unsure of what that was, so I looked up a conversion chart on Google and discovered that they fall between 0.178mm and 0.254mm (about 0.010 inches). You can add medium and scratch through the clay's surface with a wide range of tools. Hobby knives, razor blades, etching implements, sandpaper, oil-free steel wool, erasers, and Ampersand Scratchbord tools are a few alternatives. Sgraffito techniques can be used to cut into the surface of Claybord's clay layer and reveal the white clay ground once more.The size of this Claybord is 16 "It measures 20" x 1/8" and is thin. However, Ampersand provides cradled choices in three different thicknesses and Claybord in a variety of widths " (0.75," 1.5," and 2").

4.1/5
Will not tear-shrink-buckle even under heavy water application
Colors retain their purity and vibrancy more than with fine papers
Clay coated hardboard panel comparable to watercolor paper
Use for gouache, acrylic, and ink too!
Colors can be lifted and erased while the surface is wet or dry
$234
I'm taking a break from my watercolor sheets, which require specific preparation to avoid rippling and buckling and the stains' irreversibility. Claybord triumphs in both areas since the paints can be easily removed if necessary, and the boards, whether or not they are cradled, never ripple or lose their shape. There is no need for a frame or glass because the watercolor is protected from harm by a companion spray finish. Additionally, if changes or restorations are required, the finish can be removed. Playing around with the layers is so much fun as well! Up until a particularly fine finishing look is achieved, each wash complements the previous one. Thanks a lot! will purchase more.

Yes, you can paint watercolour on board. Board is a sturdy surface that is easy to work with. The only downside is that it can be difficult to get a smooth finish.
Yes, you can use alcohol ink on clayboard. The ink will seep into the clayboard and stain it, so you will need to be careful when applying it. Alcohol ink is also permanent, so once it is on the clayboard, it will be there forever.
Clayboard is a type of painting panel that is covered with a thin layer of clay. It is an excellent support for oil paint, and it can give your paintings a unique textured look.
Claybord is a smooth, hard surface that is ideal for watercolor painting. The surface is absorbent, so it helps to keep the paint from running and allows for easy blending and layering of colors.
Clay boards are a bit more delicate than other types of boards, so you'll want to take care when cleaning them. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the clay surface. If your board is particularly dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution. Once you've cleaned the board, be sure to dry it completely before using it again.
To cut Ampersand Gessobord, you will need a sharp utility knife, a cutting board, and a straight edge. First, score the surface of the board where you want to make your cut. Next, place the board on the cutting board and use the straight edge to guide your knife as you cut through the board. Finally, sand the edges of the cut board to smooth them out.
