Pastelmat is a game-changing pastel painting surface that promises to elevate your artwork to new heights. Designed for soft pastels, this revolutionary surface has a smooth and velvety texture that provides exceptional adherence for soft pastel. This texture also reduces the need for fixative between each layer, allowing you to add successive layers without sacrificing the vibrancy of your colours. The texture of Pastelmat falls between the softness of velour and the coarseness of sandpaper, giving you the best of both worlds. And it's not just versatile - it's also incredibly durable, able to withstand rubbing and is even water-resistant. While primarily designed for pastels, this surface can also be used with charcoal or pencil.
