Clairefontaine Pastelmat Card Pad No.1 - 30x40cm - 12 Sheets Assorted

Finding the right surface for dry pastels can be a frustrating challenge, as many papers either lack the necessary grip or become saturated too quickly. If you are tired of your pigments sliding off the page or losing their vibrancy, you need a professional-grade foundation that respects your technique.

The Clairefontaine Pastelmat Card Pad No.1 is the gold standard in Art Paper for artists who demand precision. This unique, innovative surface is neither abrasive like sandpaper nor soft like velvet, allowing you to layer pigments repeatedly without the need for fixatives. Whether you are applying energetic strokes or delicate, soft shadings, this 360g card holds your work beautifully.

Each 30x40cm pad includes 12 sheets in four versatile shades: corn, buttercup, dark gray, and light gray. Because the paper is acid-free and pH neutral, your finished pieces are preserved for the long term. It is even resilient enough to handle wet techniques or alcohol without losing its grain or integrity.
