Ampersand Art Supply Museum Series Pastelbord | 5" x 7" | Assorted Colors | 1/2" Pastel & Dry Media Painting Panel | Holds More Layers Than Pastel Paper | Wet & Dry Applications

Very nice high quality product. The “grit” or texture on the boards will hold the pastels nicely. These are not cardboard. It’s actual pressed board of some type. Love the 4 colors in the pack. My first time buying these and can’t wait to try.

This is my go-to for pastels. It holds color well. Every once in a while there is a small area that will not hold color but overall this product works well.

Great surface for pastels.

Creat for painting, color pencils for art

I love ampersand boards. soft pastels lay very well on them

I bought this for my husband. He really liked the way the pastels went on and says it's good quality. He bought the smallest one because he wasn't sure if he would like it. Well, he did and said he would buy some of all sizes if the price weren't so high. So, we gave these four stars because of price.

Love this board! I plan on ordering more. I love how well my pastels glide and blend on my paintings.

There are good pastel papers, but, if you want to build many layers you will want to use something like PastelMat paper. But if your intent is to mount your work afterward with the best possible support while working, then you would do well to use these panels. They offer the advantage of many layers, smoothness, good support and durable longevity.
