What is an art board?

Art boards are used as a blank surface for artists to start creating. These boards come in a range of materials from canvas, wood, paper, and even foam.  Whether painting, drawing, or mixed media work, the choice of art board can significantly influence the outcome of the artwork, from texture and durability to quality.

What is the best artist paint board?

To find out the best type of painting board for artists, you need to consider the style of artwork you intend to make, and the materials you wish to use. Some of the most common options available include: 

  1. Wooden boards: Artists who use wooden boards can create detailed and textured masterpieces. Using a wooden panel can offer a durable canvas for you to work on, and avoid the need for additional backing or support. 
  2. Linen panels: Our natural linen panels are coated with a substance that ensures they stay stiff and waterproof. Linen is ideal for artworks with several layers of paint or even the use of mixed media. Compared to cotton canvas, linen has a finer weave and smoother surface, allowing for more intricate brushwork and finer details in paintings. 
  3. Watercolour blocks: Boards such as the Ampersand Aqua Boards are perfect for artists who wish to use watercolours and gouache to create. This material is designed to absorb paint without shrinking or buckling. They provide an ideal surface for watercolour painting, allowing for washes, blending, and layering.
  4. Canvas board: Canvas boards are a classic choice for painting, offering a durable surface with canvas stretched over a rigid board. Canvas is readily available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and formats, making it accessible to artists in various locations and with different preferences. 

What are foam boards used for? 

Foam boards are popular among crafters and DIY enthusiasts for creating a variety of projects. You can utilise your foam boards for mounting photos, posters, or even scrapbooking. With ArtStore Online, you can see a range of foam boards available, including boards with easy peel liners. Their lightweight yet sturdy construction makes them ideal for both professionals and the novice artists alike. 

Tips and tricks for using art boards

When selecting what type of art board you need, there are a few tips and tricks you can implement to ensure your envisioned artwork is achieved. 

  1. Choose the board surface based on the medium you want to use! If you are using a heavier medium you need to ensure your board is strong enough to support your artwork. 
  2. Always properly prep your surface before you begin. 
  3. Don’t let mistakes hold you back! Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes they are a vital step in the artistic journey.
  4. Most importantly, enjoy creating! No matter what style of art board you choose, don’t forget to enjoy the process!
