Hey pastel artists! If you're tired of your pastels not sticking well or creating too much dust, you gotta try this Pastelmat paper pad. It's a game-changer. This pad has 10 glued sheets, each one is a hefty 600gsm and measures 54x39cm (about 21.2x15.3 inches). The cool thing about Pastelmat is its unique surface – it holds onto pastel pigment way better than regular Ingres paper, but it's tougher than frosted paper so you can really work it. You can blend and layer colors like a dream, building up to 9 layers they say! And because it grabs the pastel so well, you use up your expensive sticks about 45% slower, and there's way less dust flying around. This pad comes in a light color assortment (think light brown, grey, etc.) which gives you a beautiful base to work on. It's in a book format with protective sheets between each page, so it's super portable for painting on the go. Whether you're into landscapes, portraits, or abstract stuff, this paper gives you amazing control for those soft, painterly effects. Seriously, your pastels will look richer and go further.
