Clairefontaine Pastelmat Pad No.2 | 360gsm Card 30x40cm - 12 Sheets

Finding the right surface for dry pastels can be frustrating, especially when standard papers fail to hold layers or cause pigments to muddy. If you are tired of your work losing its vibrancy or requiring constant fixative, you need a professional-grade foundation that respects your technique.

The Clairefontaine Pastelmat Pad No.2 is the gold standard in art paper for pastel artists. Unlike abrasive sandpaper or overly smooth velvet, this unique 360gsm card features a soft, adherent surface that grips pigments securely. This allows you to layer colors repeatedly without saturation, giving you the freedom to build depth and detail without the need for fixatives.

This 30x40cm pad includes 12 sheets in four versatile shades: white, sienna, brown, and anthracite. Key features include:

• 360gsm acid-free card with neutral pH for long-term preservation.
• Versatile surface that supports wet techniques and alcohol without losing its grain.
• Protective crystal paper inserts between each of the 12 sheets.
• Easy-detach glued finish for a clean, professional workflow.
