Mounted boards eliminate the buckling and warping that plague paper when you layer wet media over dry techniques. Strathmore constructs these mixed media boards by adhering vellum-finish sheets to both sides of rigid whiteboards, creating stable surfaces that handle aggressive technique combinations without deteriorating. The moderate tooth accepts graphite, colored pencil, and pastel while providing enough grip for acrylic and watercolor applications.

Archival, acid-free, and lignin-free materials ensure your work maintains its integrity over time, critical for pieces destined for exhibition or sale. The rigid backing supports repeated layering and correction without the fiber breakdown that occurs when working on unsupported paper. Both sides are usable, giving you flexibility to experiment or rework compositions without wasting materials.

These boards suit artists who combine drawing and painting techniques in single compositions: ink linework beneath watercolor washes, collage elements integrated with acrylic, or mixed media illustrations that demand dimensional stability. The vellum surface strikes a practical balance between smooth and textured, accepting detail work while maintaining enough tooth to hold paint layers securely.
