Crescent Cold Pressed Illustration Boards

Description

Cold‑Pressed Illustration Boards for Acrylic, Watercolor, Gouache, Charcoal & Colored Pencil

Crescent Cold‑Pressed Illustration Board is a versatile surface ideal for acrylic, gouache, and watercolor. Its lightly textured, absorbent surface holds paint beautifully without warping, making it perfect for both light washes and layered techniques. Compared to hot‑pressed boards, which offer a smoother surface for ink and fine detail, cold‑pressed boards provide more tooth—preferred by artists working with fluid or expressive media. Packaging may vary.

Crescent Illustration Boards are made by mounting quality paper to a rigid board. The cold press boards are perfectly textured to hold art media without pigments flaking off. The surface is acid-free, helping you to preserve your best work for a lifetime. You can use Crescent Illustration Boards with all kinds of media, but the surface works best with graphite pencils, colored pencils, and ink.
