What is suede matboard?
The brand that I use is Crescent Moorman. It’s a high quality fabric matboard that is fade and bleed resistant and has a premium white conservation core and backing.
A drawing can be transferred to the suede board with graphite. The suede fabric is very receptive to graphite so when transferring a drawing to the board, make sure it’s not going on too dark.
If pigment needs to be removed from suede board, first lay a piece of Scotch transparent tape on the offending color and scratch the top of the tape with your fingernail. Gently lift the tape and this will remove color. Another method, if using Lyra Polycolor, is to dab at the color with a Lyra kneaded eraser and pigment will be removed. A stain may remain, it depends on how much pigment is embedded in the suede.
