Field Sketch Board 18X18

This has worked out as expected. I like the handle so I can stand it up next to my chair and grab it easily. It is a large surface area therefore it accommodates larger sheets of paper. I am not tough on things, so I am sure the durability will suit my needs. The clip is convenient at times, and I also clip a portable rechargeable LED light to it, which works out well. I can slide the light around, or the paper.

The board is fantastic for everything...the clip is very good quality and holds the whole paper very well unlike ones in market whose hold is questionable even after the price we pay. This is the third board I ordered from various places and returned the rest! It is fantastic for watercolours which is why quality of board itself is important for me. The artist tape left no mark at all after taking off with multiple uses too. Recommend it as the best.

I Purchased this Art alternatives Artist tote board for my 13 year old artist daughter for Christmas, I was pleasantly surprised by the sturdiness of it given it's relatively low cost. it was one of the Belles of the ball Christmas morning when my daughter opened it, she uses the rubber band to hold her pencils and markers while she draws and is constantly toting it all over the house to draw something new. I was so very happy to see that it held up well to the machinations of my teenager. If you are an artist or know someone who is an artist I would very much recommend this as a gift or for yourself, it is a great size and has a handle for easy carrying. It holds up well to systematic minor abuse from being ran in to walls and doors because my daughter isn't paying attention, or being stuffed in weird places when I tell her to put it up for the day. Definitely a great quality and I will buy one for myself soon.

I am an artist and I love that I can sit on the couch and clasp my paper down so it doesn't move while I'm drawing, blending, erasing etc..It also came with a rubber band to strap across the page for easy rotation. It's super light weight and can hold up to 18 inches in length drawing paper. It's also great to do homework on while you sit comfortably! Very sturdy no flimsy at all

The field sketch board was delivered promptly without any problems. The board suits my needs perfectly. I prefer the rounded corners as I do my drawing in a recliner or on the couch most of the time. (No, not lazy, just a really, really bad back!) A rounded corner is just softer than a right angle and makes a difference in the way I use the board. The edges are smooth. In any case this board has made creating easier. The rubber band keeps paper in place, and the board is just the right size. I use painters tape to affix photos, sketches for reference as I draw, so it's large enough for that as well as 8x12 paper. Any larger and it would have been too big for me. The clip also holds paper in place as it should. It's a sturdy product, and is exactly as advertised.

Got this for my art class and it’s pretty good. The only thing I would say is I wish there was another clip on the bottom because my pad sometimes slips off the clip, Which is kind of annoying. Other than that it’s pretty great.

I just received this sketch board about a week ago. Since then, I've drawn on it five times and had absolutely no problems thus far.It's sturdy, unbendable and the clip and holder band are in great condition! So far. so good.

Well, it’s the right size… other than that, it’s very thin and a dry unfinished surface. I think I’ll put a coat of varnish on and see how that goes, but for painting, specifically watercolors I would be concerned about its durability. Just not the quality I was hoping for, but fine.

With over 80% of 5-star reviews I hoped it would be worth 50 quid and two weeks waiting. Alas, when it arrived it had one corner with what looks like an impact damage. The board starts slightly splitting into layers at another corner, Although the edges have rounded finish, the manufacture didn't seem to bother to do the same for the corners. The metal clip does not meet the board evenly causing paper to pivot. One side of the clip has a very rough, sharp edge. At this price the quality is unacceptable. I am returning the board.
