Introduction to Ampersand Primed Smooth
Learn more about the Ampersand Primed Smooth gesso panel and why artists enjoy this smooth surface for oil, acrylic, pouring, ink, graphite, mixed media, and more.
Painters who prefer an acrylic primed panel with a really smooth finish choose The Artist Panel Primed Smooth, which is pre-gessoed and ready to use.
In order to prepare a surface this smooth, you’d have to apply layer upon layer of gesso, sanding between each of them. The Artist Panel Primed Smooth lets you spend your time creating instead. The Artist Panel Primed Smooth surface is a semi-absorbent, acid-free ground that helps oil and acrylic painters achieve the finest details and cleanest wipes.
But is perfect for a wide range of media as well; use it with inks, collage, acrylic pouring techniques, or graphite pencils. It’s also a great base for mounting canvas, paper, photos, and giclées.
