What it is
Clairefontaine Pastelmat — a card surface with a fine mineral coating that grips dry pastel like almost nothing else on the market.
The paper
360gsm card with a velvety, lightly abrasive face. The coating holds several layers of soft pastel, hard pastel, pencil and charcoal without clogging, so you can keep building instead of stopping when the tooth fills. Glassine interleaving between sheets protects finished work. Pads are glued at the head with a rigid backing board.
Who it's for
Pastel painters above all — this is the paper Unison and Sennelier users tend to settle on. It also takes coloured pencil and charcoal beautifully if you want depth without endless layering.
Why we stock it
Pastelmat is the single most requested pastel surface across our counter, and the reason is simple: it holds more pigment than anything comparable. We keep the full colour and size range because pastel painters buy by the shade of the ground, not just the size.
