SURFACES ; 

Clairefontaine Pastelmat ; Pastelmat is a premium card surface (360gsm / 170lb) specially developed for pastelists. Its unique velvety surface, made from a fine coating of cellulose fibres, has the ability to grab and hold multiple layers of even the softest pastels.
It also comes in a more sturdy 1.8mm board option which I may  use with pastels to stop movement. Because of the finish fixative is not usually required, which means that colours remain vibrant and fresh once applied.  It is acid free and lightfast.
Pastelmat is ideal for use with all dry media - pastel sticks, PanPastel, pencils and charcoal. It is also water resistant which means that watercolour washes and mixed media techniques can be used.
