Aquabord, which is the flagship product of the company, gives watercolorists a leeway as far as freedom and control are concerned. Artist Panel, the newest introduction in their product range has acrylic gesso surface, which is best suited for oil and acrylic painting. The hottest selling product of the company of course is the claybord, which can be used for acrylic, gouache, tempera, egg tempera, pen, inks, mixed media, air brush and collage paintings.
