Pastelmat paper from Clairefontaine is a premium card surface (360gsm / 170lb) specially developed for pastelists. Its unique velvety surface, made from a fine coating of cellulose fibers, has the ability to grab and hold multiple layers of even the softest pastels. Pastelmat significantly reduces the need for fixative, which means that colours remain vibrant and fresh once applied. It has the added bonus of being gentle on both fingers and blending tools. It is acid free and lightfast. Pastelmat is ideal for use with all dry media – pastel sticks, PanPastel, pencils and charcoal. It is also water resistant which means that it can be used with wet media – such as acrylics and watercolour for washes and mixed media techniques. At Jackson’s we stock the Pastelmat in 8 colours in large sheets (50x70cm) and in three sizes of pads in two groups of assorted colours. * Unique velvety surface with excellent grabbing power * Holds many layers of pastel colour * Reduces the need for fixative * Gentle on fingers & tools * Premium card weight (360gsm / 170lb) * Use with wet and dry media * Acid Free * Archival * Lightfast * Water-resistant Landscape Painting with
