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.

"UArt Premium Boards"
Best product for pastel painting I have used to date. Boards are well packaged so the surface remains pristine. Also, Dakota's packaging for shipping was outstanding.

"I love these UArt premium mounted boards"
UArt Premium Mounted Boards are so rigid and durable that you can create some very wet, drippy underpaintings without worrying that the paper will buckle or curl. Out of sheer frustration with an uncooperative painting, I’ve run them under a faucet to rinse off the pastel, and though a “ghost” image is left, the board retains its tooth and the paper stays mounted securely. I love using them.
