Just when you thought you have tried out all types of pastel paper, along comes a new one that promises to be better. I have heard much about Clairefontaine’s Pastelmat paper, but I was a little sceptical. After all good pastel paper is plentiful. Would Pastelmat offer something different? Keep reading to find out plus check out the video review below.
Pastels are a wonderful medium to work with. You only need to look at Degas’s sublime use of pastels in his ballerina paintings. You can work them delicately or with boldness and the colour is always powerful. The pure pigment in artist’s quality pastels is a pleasure to behold. It is a pity then to use poor quality paper on which to paint. I have tried many papers over the years of varying quality. Recently I tried out two pastel pads from Canson. Their Mi-Teintes pastel paper pads and Touch pads.

Clairefontaine’s PastelGrain Pads are premium-quality pads specifically designed for artists working with pastels, though they are equally suitable for other dry media such as charcoal, colored pencils, and graphite. Each pad contains finely textured paper that has a subtle, uniform grain, offering the ideal surface for layering colours and achieving fine detail in artwork. The texture strikes a balance between smoothness and tooth, allowing for excellent pigment adhesion while minimizing the dust typically associated with pastel use. The acid-free, archival-quality paper ensures that the artwork remains vibrant and intact over time, resisting yellowing or deterioration. These pads come in various tonal colours that complement different artistic styles and enhance the visual richness of pastel work. The pages are glued on one side for easy removal, allowing artists to separate sheets without damaging the artwork. Available in multiple sizes, PastelGrain Pads are favored by professional and amateur artists alike for their durability, versatility, and ability to maintain the richness and depth of pastel pigments. Whether creating soft transitions or bold, saturated strokes, these pads provide a reliable surface that brings out the best in your pastels. Clairefontaine introduces their new creative pastel paper with an intense grain. PastelGrain has a rougher surface that enhances textural effects and brings greater depth to the work. There’s no need for fixative as the surface allows multiple layers of pastel without saturation. Resistant, it keeps its original properties after being rubbed or wet.
