Ampersand Aquaboard - a great alternative to your regular watercolour paper!

Aquaboards are great alternatives to watercolour papers with two added advantages - they don’t require framing and wrap with the changes in humidity. So, for the artists who keep on piling their already piled up stacks of watercolour paintings, waiting to be framed and hung, the Ampersand Aquaboard is a money and life saver! Aquaboard is an acid-free, textured coated hardboard panel that absorbs watercolours like a fine paper. It gives a watercolourist the opportunity to create washes and stack glazes with unprecedented freedom and control.

Paint brushes are the magic wand of every painting artist! And as you use them, they become dearer to you. Made by US company known as Silver Brush, these Black Velvet series brushes are suitable for watercolour, silk painting, inks, dyes, acrylics, and gouache. They come in various sizes and types and are sold in a set too. These beautiful brushes have an appealing black body and the right blend of hair. The hair of the brush is made out of squirrel hair and synthetic filament. Squirrel hair can withhold a considerable amount of colour and releases it with super control, making it ideal for any artist to use it. This combination produces the best effect – soft and tensile. With Black Velvet Brushes , it’s easy to get subtle, delicate blending, especially wet in wet, and the springiness helps it snap back and keep their shape, so achieving fine controlled marks presents no real challenge.
