Discover the Perfect Foundation for Your Next Masterpiece

Picture this: you unbox your supplies, eager to dive into painting, but instead you're stuck sanding and priming for hours. We've all been there—uneven surfaces that snag your brush and steal your creative flow. Enter the Ampersand Art Supply Wood Gesso Panel, a game-saver for serious artists who value time and quality.

Why This Panel Stands Out

Made from premium birch plywood with a 7/8-inch cradled profile, this 8x10-inch panel is engineered for durability. The factory-applied gesso coating creates an ultra-smooth, absorbent surface that's primed and ready—no prep required. It's versatile enough for oils, acrylics, watercolors, and even gouache, holding up to heavy layering without cracking or buckling.

Real Benefits You'll Feel

The cradled edges add depth and rigidity, letting you paint on both sides if inspiration strikes or display it unframed with that modern gallery look. No more flimsy canvas sagging under wet paint; this panel stays flat through thick glazes and impasto textures. Artists love how the smooth gesso captures fine details, from delicate skin tones to intricate textures in landscapes.

Where It Shines in Your Studio

Grab it for quick plein air sessions where every minute counts, or use it in the studio for experimenting with new techniques. It's a staple for portrait artists needing precise control, or abstract painters layering bold colors. Even hobbyists find it elevates their sketches into frame-worthy art. Pair it with your favorite brushes and see your vision come alive on a surface that responds perfectly.

Invest in panels that match your passion. This Ampersand gesso panel isn't just wood—it's the reliable base for countless creations. Order yours and get painting today.
