Clairefontaine Pastelmat Paper Pad 12 Sheets 7"x9-1/2" Palette No. 7
Clairefontaine Pastelmat Paper Pad 12 Sheets 7"x9-1/2" Palette No. 7
Pastelmat offers pastel artists new opportunities with a unique surface that grabs pastels more effectively than Ingres papers but is less abrasive then sanded papers. Pastelmat pads have glassine sheet protectors between each page.
Pastelmat is a truly unique product with a strong, velvety surface that has more tooth than traditional Ingres papers but without the abrasive qualities of sanded papers. Pastelmat's organic surface and powerful texture are derived from cellulose plant fibers. In comparison, sanded pastel papers, like all industrial sandpapers, are made with aluminum oxide and other chemicals to create their gritty surface.
Pastelmat has a unique interaction with pastels, allowing the artist to create painterly effects with soft, buttery marks. The paper's texture grabs onto the pastel, breaking up the pigment and pulls it deep into the surface for exceptionally vibrant color. Supports building up multiple layers of pigment to control color tone and intensity.
The extreme abrasiveness of sanded papers generates large amounts of dust. Inhaled or absorbed over a long period, this can cause serious health problems. Pastelists are therefore are recommended to wear masks and to work over a tray to catch dust, minimizing the amount of dust that gets on clothing, on the floor, or gets blown through the house by the heating or A/C system. In comparison, Pastelmat's velvety surface produces relatively little dust so that such precautions are not necessary.
