Art Boards™ Arches Hot Press Watercolor panels are 3/8 thick. The archival artist paper is adhered to an ultra-smooth art panel surface that has no wood grain. The Natural Fiber Art Panel is made using a process that combines pure wood from Douglas Fir trees with urethane binders producing a art support that is double refined with no oils or resins. 

Art Boards™ Arches Hot Press Art Panels are not mounted to tempered masonite or hardboard. Art Boards™ natural fiber wood artist panels are un-tempered. They are the ideal substrate and the perfect support for Arches Hot Press paper. The smooth archivally mounted surface is perfect for all kinds of drawing including silverpoint, printmaking and painting.
