Just realized I didn’t tell you
about experiment # 3: claybord by Ampersand. I had big hopes for this one
because on the leaflet that comes with the claybord it says: ‘absorbent (…),
perfect for inks, gouache, egg tempera, pencil (…)’ so I thought it would be
perfect for my ink and pencil combination.
When I got it out of the wrapping the
surface felt smooth. I wondered how this was going to absorb and hold watery
materials. Well, it didn’t.
To save the mess I tried to sand the
surface and that helped a little but didn’t give the results that I was hoping for.
So as for Ampersand surfaces I’ll stick to the aquabord.
For the drawing below I used Derwent Inktensepencils, Lukas Illucolor Pigmented ink and it is done on Ampersand aquabord.
