Clairefontaine Pastelmat Pad - White 360g Pastel Paper, 24x30cm, 12 Sheets

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

The Clairefontaine Pastelmat Pad is engineered to solve these common artistic hurdles. This unique 360g Pastel Paper features a specialized surface that is neither too abrasive like sandpaper nor too soft like velvet. It allows you to build up rich, vibrant layers of pigment without saturation, giving you the freedom to create everything from energetic, bold strokes to the most delicate, soft shadings.

Why artists choose this pad:

• Versatile Performance: The surface remains stable even when using wet techniques or alcohol, maintaining its grain and grip throughout your process.
• Professional Preservation: As an Acid-Free Paper with a neutral pH, it ensures your artwork remains pristine over time.
• Thoughtful Design: Each of the 12 sheets (24x30cm) is protected by a crystal paper spacer and is easily detachable from the glued block.
