Clairefontaine Pastelmat Pastel Card Pad - 30x40cm 12 Sheets

Elevate your art with the Clairefontaine Pastelmat Pastel Card Pad. This professional-grade block features 12 sheets of high-quality 360gsm card, specifically designed to enhance the dry pastel technique. Unlike standard papers, Pastelmat offers a unique and innovative surface that is neither abrasive like sandpaper nor soft like velvet paper. This specialized texture allows artists to apply energetic strokes and the softest shadings with ease. One of the standout benefits of this paper is its ability to hold pigment. The soft and adherent surface makes it possible to multiply layers of color without reaching saturation effects. This means you can build depth and richness in your work without the immediate need for fixative. The pad comes with an assortment of four useful shades: corn, buttercup, dark gray, and light gray, with three leaves of each color provided. Whether you are working on fine details or broad strokes, this 30 x 40cm block provides a reliable foundation for your creative projects.
