Product details

Pastelmat paper 360g is specially designed for pastel painting. Both the front and back sides can be used. The pigments adhere excellently and are well highlighted, even without fixative. It is possible to layer multiple colors without a saturation effect. Effortless blending with fingers on the velvety surface is very gentle on the fingers. The velvety surface is unique: coarser than velvet paper, softer than sandpaper. This opens up entirely new possibilities for the artist, allowing for very soft shading, fine lines, or precise details. The consumption of pigments is 30 to 40% lower than with conventional sandpaper. The paper is 100% natural, featuring an organic surface made from plant cellulose without the addition of chemical abrasives. The less rough surface also produces very little pastel dust during use. Pastelmat paper can also be used for wet techniques, with water-based paint or denatured alcohol-based paint. It has archival quality, is pH-neutral, and acid-free.
