PASTELMAT is a premium card surface (360gsm / 170lb) specially developed for pastelists. Its unique velvety surface, made from a fine coating of cellulose fibres, 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 acacid-freend lightfast.

PASTELMAT is ideal for all dry media - pastel sticks, PanPastel, pencils and charcoal. It is also water resistant, meaning it can be used with wet media – such as acrylics and watercolours, for washes and mixed media techniques.

Clairefontaine developed Pastelmat to meet the specific expectations of the most demanding pastel artists. This 50 cm x 70 cm - 19.5x25.5, 170 lb (360 gsm) card is also an ideal surface for pencil and charcoal.

Pastelmat's single and original surface is a true innovation combining two traditional papers' advantages. The fine particles are sufficiently well-fixed for a smooth surface and comfort of use, and the smoothness of the cork grain in the adhesive ensures longevity.

The character "fixing" of this surface is so extraordinary that the positioning of multiple layers of pastels and the realization of flat tints, precise details, or delicate and transparent veils are easily achieved.

The use of fixative is not necessary with Pastelmat. The rigidity, weight, non-acidity, and the paper's light resistance guarantee the conservation of your artwork. However, it is recommended that a sheet of acid-free translucent paper be placed over finished artworks created on Pastelmat.
