Reviews
I love using Aspire Art Boards! Brendan has the best customer service ever and makes great quality boards for painting. Sometimes I need a specific, custom size, and he's great about getting that done as well. My most recent order included several boards, it arrived earlier than I expected, was packaged expertly and everything was in perfect condition. My latest paintings are all done on Aspire Art Boards and all of my work can be seen at conniemae-art.com, and I share about it on Instagram and Facebook @conniemaestudio.
When I discovered Aspire ArtBoards I had been looking for a good source for Art Boards. I never dreamed that Aspire could be such a valuable resource. Not only are the products top quality but dealing with Brendan is a dream. He offers feed-back and help in addition to a product with the highest standards. This company is a find for any artist. So glad I found it. Thank you Brendan!
So, I got mine yesterday and right away noticed the texture. (I didn't have time to paint, just opened it up to feel it.) This board has great tooth!! The museum series panel by Ampersand is way too slippery for me. Anyways, I just started painting on it and I love this little panel (I got the 6x8). I look forward to trying a larger size next time.
Excellent surface!!!!! Better than ampersand!!!
I am so far very impressed with this company! Brendan was very quick to respond and helpful with all of my questions. I received a wonderful sample pack and painted on the surface of that and love it. I just place an order for a large board that I'm doing as a commission and needed a custom size. However, I think I might just switch to Aspire for all of my boards, even the basic sizes. I'll be sure to post a photo of the finished piece so keep an eye on my social or sign up for my mailing list on my website! conniemae-art.com, conniemaestudio on Instagram & FB
Very impressed with these panels! Will be ordering more!
High quality product.
Your art boards a a pleasure to work on. As soon as I complete some work, I'll send some images. And thank you for the extra care in packaging and shipping. My products arrived in perfect condition.
Your boards are absolutely amazing. I found the surface so much workable than canvas. If I could I would use these for every project.
I love Aspire Boards! I'm a relatively new oil painter and I've been searching for a great quality board and Aspire Boards fit the bill! The texture of the board is just right...keep up the good work!
