Crescent Art Paper and Boards
Artist Illustration Boards– Crescent professional grade cold press (not) illustration boards have a textured surface designed primarily for pencil, ink, airbrush, washes, light collage & wet media. The textured surface of a cold press board permits the medium to be applied without fast absorption, which in turn allows the washes to blend smoothly. Made of 100% cotton fibre acid-free paper on a high quality board to create a balanced tension. Also available the student board, available in two surfaces.
Marker Boards- a rigid alternative to marker layout paper, marker ink won’t feather and the colour remains brilliant.
Paint Boards-
Watercolour Board
experience the convenience of an extra thick, watercolour surface that eliminates the need for stretching and mounting of water colour paper. Featuring a 100% rag heavy weight surface paper.
Canvas Board
Canvas board has the same texture as real canvas but on a durable surface.
Crescent Art Foam Board has a number of successful applications such as exhibits, POP displays, signage, crafts, photo mounting, screen-printing and framing. The polystyrene core is bonded between high quality boards to create a lightweight, reliably rigid, ultra-smooth board.
Its environmentally friendly nature and sheer flexibility makes it a “first choice” material in numerous areas. It is multi-laminated therefore much more rigid than most foam boards, CFC free, stiff and lightweight. Available in white, black, & grey/black in thicknesses of 3mm, 5mm and 10mm in a selection of pre-cut sizes.
This range of surfaces for miniature artworks on paper was developed for artists, by artists and features high-quality, in-demand products for the ever-increasing Artist Trading Cards (ATC) community, including little mounts and books. ATC artists are active on the web with loads of websites, blogs and videos devoted to trading cards.

Crescent Art Foamboard:
Can one use this as a backing board to stretch watercolour paper on? I have a foamboard which I bought at Daniel Smith in the USA, which I use to stretch watercolour paper on. Great for travelling. Light but strong. It remains rigid even when I do a lot wet-into-wet washes. I have never been able to find an equivalent foamboard in the UK. I’m wondering if this foamboard might be strong enough?
Thanks
Hi Jabeen
I don’t think so, it is paper covered so will not take wet media. I think you might need plastic covered foamboard, like Gator Board which unfortunately we do not stock.
