Description
Discover a revolutionary surface designed specifically for pastel artists seeking exceptional control and vibrant results. The Clairefontaine Pastelmat Glued Pad Palette Number 4 features twelve heavyweight 360 gram sheets in an assorted color selection including dark blue, light blue, wine, and sand. This professional grade paper boasts a unique velvety fiber texture that grabs and holds multiple layers of pigment securely without requiring heavy fixative applications between layers.

Fully compatible with water and solvent based washes for underpaintings, this versatile medium handles dry pastels, charcoal, and colored pencils with ease.
Each page is protected by integrated glassine interleaving sheets to prevent smudging during storage and transport.
