Its unique velvety surface balances texture for effortless smudging and fine detail work, reducing pigment use by up to 40%. Made from 100% natural vegetable cellulose, it’s acid-free and pH neutral, supporting archival quality. Compatible with both dry pastels and wet techniques, this pad unlocks versatile, vibrant layering without saturation or excessive dust.

## Description

The pastel mat paper 360 g has been specially developed for pastel painting. Front and back can be used. The pigments adhere excellently and are highlighted very well, even without fixative. Layering multiple layers of colour without saturation effect is possible. The effortless smudging with your fingers on the velvety surface is very gentle on the fingers. The velvety surface is unique: coarser than velour paper, softer than sandpaper. This opens up new possibilities for the artist. So very soft shades, such as fine lines, or precise details can be implemented. Pigment consumption is 30 to 40% less than conventional sandpaper. The paper is 100% natural, an organic surface made from vegetable cellulose without the addition of chemical abrasives. The less rough surface also produces very little pastel dust when working. Pastelmat paper can also be used for wet techniques, with water-based paint or denatured alcohol. It has archival quality, is pH neutral and acid free
