Clairefontaine - Ref 96111C - Pastelmat Pastel Card Pad No.4 (12 Sheets) - 360gsm Card - 24 x 30cm - Assorted Colours - Specially Formulated For Use With Pastels

Absolutely love this paper. It's cheaper to buy the pads rather than the paper singly and I prefer the light blue paper to any other colour and is the one I mostly use (as in the attached photos of my drawings). I am also a real novice at painting. I taught myself to draw (with step-by-step guides) just over a year ago and when I got better decided to go a stage further and use a few basic watercolours to liven them up a bit more but was absolutely hopeless with them. I then went onto different types of pastels using different makes of pastel paper. This make of paper is definitely the best for me. The pastels I use go on so smoothly and are easy to erase with a putty eraser when you make a mistake (which I frequently do). I used a normal eraser once which permanently marked the paper so it is a real learning curve for me. Great paper though (and a little heavier than the Canson Mi-Teintes paper).Edit: I actually used the 18cm x 24cm size on the two pictures but bought both types.

Lovely pastel card. Colours as described and each page has protection paper over it. My 1st order arrived damaged as it had been sent with no packaging. 2nd order arrived in a cardboard protective wrapper and was fine.

Holds pastel well. Good stable sheets.

Love the colours and quality of this pad.

You can layer the pastel in a way I have never experienced before, with no need to fix between layers. Crystal sheets provided between each sheet too. Does not use too much of your soft pastel as the sanded surface is very fine. A good range of colours and sizes. As an artist, I love it!

A lovely selection of colours for doing pastel work on. Good quality paper and handy in pad form for carrying

Good quality paper although I have tried it yet

I use Pastelmat for all my pastel paintings so I am very happy with it

Esse papel é muito bom , fez toda a diferença no meu desenho

Very good product but not cheap

Llegó antes de lo esperado, en excelente condición.

Buena calidad. Un poco cari

Questa è in assoluto la migliore carta per pastelli! Il pastello aderisce immediatamente alla carta e il primo strato è poco sfumabile, se non lievemente con uno sfumino di carta, ma come si continua ad aggiungere colore le possibilità diventano infinite, si può sfumare sia con sfumini che con le dita, e se si usa una mano leggera si possono fare sovrapposizioni e correzioni praticamente all'infinito. È ideale sia per pastelli morbidi che per pastelli più duri, quelli solitamente di tipo rettangolare, che per le matite pastello e PanPastel, ma la si può usare anche con matite colorate, incluse quelle acquarellabili perché è molto spessa e si può usare l'acqua.A differenza della comune carta per pastelli si crea pochissima polvere mentre si disegna e non occorre usare un fissativo finale. Secondo me non esiste di meglio, una buona superficie fa tutta la differenza in un disegno, soddisfazione estrema!
