Clairefontaine - Ref 296009C - Pastelmat Card Sheets (Pack of 5 Sheets) - 360gsm Card - 70 x 100cm - Anthracite Colour - Specially Formulated For Use With Pastels

Expensive, but price pay the good quality. Wonderful with colour pencils, holds the pigment and allows many layers. And I liked the fact that the pastel mat came with grassine paper to protect it, I didn't expect it because of the big size.

Great pastel paper, purchased these several times & have not been disappointed with the quality or the condition they are received in. The only pastel paper I use. Recommended.

As described best material for pastel work

Clairfontaine Pastelmat card, the Pastelmat card used by many amateurs and professionals for coloured pencil and pastel drawings because of the tooth on the card. I only wanted this colour so bought this pack. It does arrive a bit curled over at the edges; just release from the wrapping and place under some heavy books for a bit to straighten out. Would be nice to get this colour only in a pad with glassine between and a hard cover. Good card, ideal for my drawings

Always use this brand of pastel card for my portraits and Amazon seem to have it at the best price. Brilliant product, you can add so many layers of soft pastel on it

These pastel mats are very good they hold the pastels well

This is expensive paper, so I expected a quality delivery of good paper of which 100% could be used. I have previously bought smaller sheets which have been delivered flat-packed in perfect condition. This deliver of these larger sheets (100 x 70 cm) arrived with them rolled up in a fairly battered but intact cardboard box. On opening the plastic bag containing the paper I saw that there were creases in the same place on all the sheets (as if it was damaged during manufacture); the corners of the sheets were battered and rolled over. In addition, because the sheets had been rolled, they retained this curl when taken out of the packaging. Very disappointing, I returned them.

Paper great, but came a little bit bent on delivery , couldn’t be bothered to send it back as I wanted to use it so a quick iron did the trick.

I fogli sono esattamente quello che cercavo, uno su 5 aveva un difetto di fabbricazione e non potevo usarlo intero. Ho scritto alla clairefontaine, mi hanno risposto subito e in una manciata di minuti mi hanno rispedito il foglio. Assurdi.

Nice colors and very good qality.

C’est un papier parfait pour passer plusieurs couches de pastels et améliorer les rendus , les rendre duveteux . Je l’utilise depuis plusieurs années . Je laissé volontairement des zones en transparence , je le recommande les yeux fermés. Le bleu gris foncé est parfait pour mettre en valeur les couleurs plus claires apposées dessus.

This paper is the best for my pastel pencil art . Will definitely be ordering again

La carta è arrivata in una grande scatola ma all interno era tutta ondulata come se fosse stata arrotolata per molto tempo proverò a stirarla con un cartone della stessa grandezza e dei pesi sperando di risolvere il problema peccato
