DRAWING BOARD

ca: TAULER DE DIBUIX

es: TABLA PARA DIBUJAR

Drawing boards were originally different sized planks of wood, usually rectangular, made to hold paper to draw and decorate with pencil and paint. Nowadays there are many different types that are industrially made and have smooth surfaces and rounded corners, are warp resistant and so designed for working outside and come with a handle or a cut-out space for carrying and metal clips to hold the paper in place.

It can be supported by an easel, lie flat on a table or have a drawing board table stand which supports it from behind and can be adjusted to the angle needed for working.
