Give loose drawing paper a flat support in the studio or on location with a TART drawing clipboard. The spring clip holds the edge of the paper, letting you draw and sketch without always needing a table. The board is made from sanded MDF, 6 mm thick.
Choose your size
You receive one clipboard in your selected size. A4 measures 330 × 250 × 6 mm and has no cut-out handle. A3 measures 495 × 400 × 6 mm and A2 measures 680 × 495 × 6 mm; both larger versions have a cut-out carry handle. These are the board’s outside dimensions, not the paper dimensions. Paper and drawing materials are not included.
Drawing on a firm support
Choose A4 for compact studies, A3 for more drawing space or A2 for larger sheets. Lay your paper flat on the board and place the top edge under the clip. Leave a small margin there, as the clip covers part of the sheet. Rest the larger board on your lap or a stable surface during longer sessions. For pencil, charcoal or pastel work, the board provides support; draw on your paper rather than directly on the MDF.
Looking after paper and board
Store the board dry and flat and remove dust with a dry cloth. For watercolour work, keep rinse water away from the MDF. The spring clip holds one edge but does not replace stretching paper on all sides when your wet technique requires it. Protect a finished drawing separately against smudging during transport.
