Our unique dovetail hanging slots enables the Arches watercolor paper mounted art panel to be hung in either direction. The painting panel hangs perfectly flush to the wall without tilting away at the top as often happens with picture framing wire. 

Art Boards™ Uncradled Art Panels are easy to level, simply slide the panel horizontally until it hangs strait. The screw or nail interlocks into the dovetail slot to secure the panel tight to the wall. This helps to prevent damage to the art work which is sometimes caused when a painting is accidentally knocked off the wall and hits the floor. There is no need for picture frames, screw eyes or picture framing wire to hang Art Boards™ archival painting supports. Arches rough textured watercolor paper mounted art panels can hang framed or unframed.

All watercolor paper mounted panels are adhered with an archival reversible adhesive. Paper can easily be removed from the panel at any time in the future by heating the panel to above 140 degrees. The paper can then be remounted to the same panel or removed for further art conservation.
