Clairefontaine Pastelmat is a premium 360gsm card surface with a unique velvety texture made from a fine coating of cellulose fibres, which has the ability to grab and hold multiple layers of even the softest pastels.
Pastelmat significantly reduces the need for fixative so that colours remain vibrant. It has the added bonus of being gentle on both fingers and blending tools. Though it was designed for pastellists, Pastelmat is suitable for all dry media, from pastel sticks and pencils to charcoal. It is also water-resistant which means that it can be used with wet media such as acrylics or watercolour. Available in a range of colours, all of which are acid-free and lightfast.
This is a pack of five sheets measuring 24 x 32cm. The sheets are of the colour Sanguine.
Please note, PastelMat are sometimes subject to some small spotting and discolouration. This is to be expected due to the manufacturing process. The small talc spots can simply be removed with a stiff brush or a craft knife.
