Clairefontaine Pastelmat Pad No.5 – 12 Sheets 360g – Assorted Green/Blue

Finding the right surface for dry pastels can be frustrating, especially when standard papers struggle to hold multiple layers or lose their grip. If you are tired of your pigments saturating or requiring constant fixative, you need a professional-grade foundation that respects your technique.

The Clairefontaine Pastelmat Pad No.5 is designed to solve these common artistic hurdles. This innovative Art Paper features a unique, soft, and adherent surface that allows you to layer pigments repeatedly without saturation. Unlike abrasive sandpaper or overly soft velvet papers, this 360g card provides the perfect balance for both energetic strokes and delicate shading.

This pad includes 12 sheets in a 24x30 format, featuring four distinct shades: dark green, light green, dark blue, and white. Because it is acid-free and pH neutral, your work is preserved beautifully over time. It is remarkably versatile, retaining its properties even when used with wet techniques or alcohol. Each sheet is protected by a crystal paper spacer and can be easily detached thanks to the glued finish. Experience the professional quality that makes Pastelmat the preferred choice for serious artists. Add this essential pad to your studio collection today to elevate your next pastel masterpiece.
