Clairefontaine : No.5 : Pastelmat Pad : 24x30cm : 12 Sheets : 360gsm

This is a Pastelmat top bound pad of 12 sheets of coloured card in four different colours: Dark Green, Light Green, Dark Blue, White. Each sheet is protected by an interleaf. Pastelmat is a premium 360 gsm card surface with a unique velvety texture made from a fine coating of cellulose fibres, which has the ability to grab and hold multiple layers of even the softest pastels. Pastelmat significantly reduces the need for fixative so that colours remain vibrant. It has the added bonus of being gentle on both fingers and blending tools. Though it was designed for pastellists, Pastelmat is suitable for all dry media, from pastel sticks and pencils to charcoal. It is also water resistant which means that it can be used with wet media such as acrylics or watercolour. It comes in a range of colours, all of which are acid free and lightfast. This pad measures 24 x 30cm. Clairefontaine actively participates in the development of French forests, by managing several hundred hectares of fir and s
