ClairefontainePastelmat Glued Pad - Palette No. 3 - (9 1/2 x 12 Inches) 24 x 30 cm - 360g - 12 Sheets - White

FYI - these are really good for oil pastels too. And worth the expense. They hold the pastel pigments better than any other material I've tried (and I've tried many). Even without applying fixative, the oil pastel doesn't come off or stick to, for example, glassine sheets protecting the artwork.

Nothing to dislike other than one corner was a little bent due to inadequate packaging on Amazon's part.

Pastelmat is hard to find and since there is no substitute for this substrate (my favorite) being able to find it in all the available colors and sizes and at a reasonable price is wonderful.

I purchased these for a beginner's pastel workshop that I taught for my local art guild. It's important to have the proper surface and quality pastels to fully experience the potential of the pastel medium. Pastelmat provides a consistent surface that is smooth enough to achieve a velvety look and smooth gradient blending while also having enough of a tooth to capture and hold pigment. Far better-looking results than those so-called pastel papers that have a textured surface that shows through your finished work.

This is the best mat for pastels. Nice and thick! Texture is excellent. Mat holds several layers of pastels. Excellent!!

This is my first time trying Pastelmat. I like the texture very much.The pad came shrink wrapped in plastic that pulled the whole pad into a curl shape that I have had a very hard time getting flat again.Otherwise this is very nice paper. I will order in other sizes and colors.

Easy to blend, holds pigment excellent!

Combining this paper with new Caran d’Ache pencils has been a game changer for my art work

Solo me llevo con un golpe en el borde pero la calidad de pastelmat es increíble

How can you dislike this paper, though it is expensive, it's Pastelmat

Excellent pour le pastel mais dispendieux

Best paper for pastal art 360gsm no textures.feel velvety.

Only 4 white sheets not 12 as mentioned...no glued pad...no glassine paper as well .. please don't buy this product.
