Linda,
I have been using Gesso Board by Ampersand. It too has a very smooth surface and my understanding is that a fine porcelain coating is applied before it receives a coating of gesso.
I wonder if you have used it and can draw a comparison between it and the ABS Panel.
The benefits of panels over canvas seems to be the ease of transporting them. I also like the fact how I can create different textures or erase layers without apparent damage to the surface. With this African Lady I had a lot of fun just going at it and used an electric pencil sharper, sharp needle like instruments, my fingers, you name it.
I am interested to hear how the two compare.
