Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper review
A UNIQUE SURFACE FOR PASTEL ARTISTS AND MANY OTHER MEDIUMS
PASTELMAT® is a premium card surface (360gsm / 170lb) specially developed for pastelists - it is also water resistant which means that it can be used with wet media such as acrylics and watercolours . Its unique velvety surface, made from a fine coating of cellulose fibers, has the ability to grab and hold multiple layers of even the softest pastels. PASTELMAT® significantly reduces the need for fixative, which means that colors remain vibrant and fresh once applied. It has the added bonus of being gentle on both fingers and blending tools.
