UArt Premium Boards are produced by mounting UArt paper on Sintra (a lightweight yet rigid board of closed-cell PVC with a low gloss matte finish). Premium Pastel Boards are the perfect solution for artists that are looking for the convenience of Uart’s sanded pastel paper pre-mounted on what UArt believes is the most durable and dent resistant board on the market. The boards are only 1/8” thick, are very lightweight and have the sanded paper mounted to the edge (no border), making it the right choice for artists on the go.
UArt Premium Boards provide a pH neutral and acid free surface on an amazingly flat and rigid board which is capable of handling any type of wet media including watercolor, alcohol and oil washes. UArt paper is affixed to the boards with acid-free glue.
UArt Premium Boards are not easily cut to custom sizes – a power saw is required.

"Board dirty"
Debris on the board. Needed compressed air to to clean it off. Took about 5 min. Finally got all the debris off.

"Love to paint nocturnes"
These dark boards are great for painting nocturnes. Any pastel color will “pop” when laid down especially the glowing lights of street lamps or reflections of lights in water.
