About this item

Ampersand Encausticbord 24x24 inch is a durable, professional artist panel built for encaustic wax, charcoal, graphite, and mixed media. Crafted with a heat-resistant encaustic ground over a rigid Hardbord core, it provides a stable, archival surface that withstands repeated heating and layering without cracking or warping. The specially formulated white ground offers a velvety, absorbent finish ideal for heavy layering and blending, supporting artists working in wax, drawing, and mixed media techniques. Beyond encaustic, the panel excels with ink, markers, collage, and layered applications, making it a versatile choice for studio and gallery use. Designed for longevity, it is acid-free, FSC-certified, and supports artwork for framing or exhibition. Imported from the USA, it arrives in 11-13 days with all duties included, ensuring a reliable, high-quality support for demanding art projects.

Artists report that the rigid, heat-resistant surface prevents cracking during encaustic work and supports heavy layering. The velvety texture allows seamless blending with charcoal, graphite, and pastel, while the gallery-ready cradled format offers a finished edge for hanging without framing. The panel’s stability and archival quality make it suitable for artwork intended for sale or display, providing a professional alternative to traditional wood or paper supports. The imported USA construction ensures consistent quality and performance, ideal for serious artists in India seeking reliable, durable surfaces for mixed media and wax painting.

In India, artists benefit from the panel’s stability in humid climates, where warping is common. The 24x24 inch size fits standard frames, and the 1.5" cradled support adds rigidity for heavy media. Delivered via ExpressBox, it arrives in 11-13 days with duties paid, offering a hassle-free import experience. Its competitive price and professional quality make it a preferred choice for artists, educators, and studios seeking a high-end, American-made surface for demanding art projects.

Key Features

  • Professional painting panel: Coated with a specially formulated, heat-resistant encaustic ground that creates a bright, velvety, highly absorbent surface. Molten wax bonds into the coating, allowing repeated heat and heavy layering without cracking, separation, or surface failure.
  • Built to support demanding media: Constructed on Ampersand’s premium, warp-resistant Hardbord core and protected with Archiva-Seal, this panel provides superior structural support under the heat and weight of layered encaustic and other demanding media applications—conditions that can cause thin plywood birch panels to crack, split, or fail. Cradled panels feature Ampersand’s handcrafted 13-ply wood cradles for added stability and a beautiful, gallery-ready presentation.
  • Velvety drawing surface: Beyond encaustic, the smooth, white, velvety encaustic ground delivers controlled drag and seamless blending, making this panel especially well suited for drawing, charcoal art, graphite, colored pencil, and PanPastel. The refined surface also performs beautifully with ink, markers, collage, and layered mixed media.
  • Trusted surface: Designed for encaustic techniques, Encausticbord supports repeated heating, fusing, scraping, reworking, and layered wax applications while maintaining surface integrity—making it a reliable bright white alternative to raw or unprimed wood panels used for wax painting.
  • Archival artist panel: An acid-free, archival artist panel designed for longevity, Encausticbord provides a stable, professional alternative to thin birch plywood for encaustic painting and to drawing paper or illustration boards for finished charcoal, drawing, and illustration work—ideal for artwork intended for framing, exhibition, or sale.

Why choose this product

Formulated for Demanding Media

Ampersand’s proprietary encaustic ground bonds wax into the surface, supporting heavy layering and repeated heating without cracking. Its heat-resistant, velvety finish ensures durability for encaustic, charcoal, and mixed media. The FSC-certified materials reflect a commitment to responsible sourcing and museum-quality standards, making it a trusted choice for professional artists worldwide.

Ideal for Artists in India

Designed to withstand the humid Indian climate, Ampersand Encausticbord resists warping and supports demanding techniques. The 24x24 inch size and cradled format provide stability and gallery-ready presentation. Imported from the USA, it offers consistent quality and performance for artists seeking reliable, durable surfaces for wax, drawing, and mixed media projects.

How to use

  • Prepare the Panel — Ensure the surface is clean and dry. No priming needed for encaustic wax; for other media, consider light sealing if desired.
  • Apply Wax or Media — Heat and layer encaustic wax directly onto the surface. Use heat tools carefully to fuse layers without cracking.
  • Rework & Finish — Scrape, fuse, and reapply layers as needed. For drawing, use charcoal, graphite, or pastel for seamless blending.
  • Frame & Display — Once finished, frame or hang directly. The cradled format supports gallery presentation without additional framing.
