Crescent Cold Press Illustration Boards possess textured surfaces that are perfect for working with drawing mediums that require some “tooth” to the surface, such as charcoal, crayon or pastel. They also work well for brush applications of watercolor or gouache where smooth blending of washes is required. The textured surfaces of the boards allow the medium to be applied without fast absorption.

No. 16 is white with a blue back, single thick, and professional grade.
