Info
Make 3 shapes in total - simply take the ready assembled 1/4 Imperial Artmate of the set to pieces and use the components provided to make a complete 1/2 Imperial Artmate with baseboard and a bonus Panorama shape without baseboard.
Excellent for watercolorists, Keba Artmate will stretch your paper and dry it in minutes - it will not cockle or pull away no matter how wet the wash. It can also be used for; oil on canvas, acrylic, gouache, pastel, penline and wash, silk painting and needlework.
Can be used for silk and canvas by using without the art base (backboard), or when travelling. This will give you complete control of ultra wet washes, ensuring no cockling, buckling or lifting. You can use this easily with any paper and get excellent results.
Two methods of stretching for watercolor use:
The Quick no pre-drying method: Wet the back of the paper and the edges of the front, then stretch and paint on the front right away.
The Pre-drying method: Wet both sides of the paper, stretch, then let dry before painting.
Make 8 different shapes from a collection of 3 KEBAartmates - Optional baseboard included with every product.
Note: paper must be cut to the size of the stretcher.

Artmate is wonderful
Review
This is hands down the most finely designed paper stretching device on the market. I have tried nearly everything I have been able to find and even wrote an article about them on my website at http://powersfineart.com/. The Keba Artmate is a quality product and it is obvious that a ton of thought went into its design. I have an older 1/4 sheet sized one and they have even made a couple small improvements from that. The addition of some screw covers on the back and improved allen key holders shows that the company really went the extra mile when they designed and refined this device. They are truly designed to last a lifetime.
