The Life of an Artist by Minaz Jantz '': Clairefontaine PastelMat Paper Review
Pastelmat is a premium card surface (360gsm / 170lb) specially developed for pastelists. Its unique velvety surface, made from a fine coating of cellulose fibers, has the ability to grab and hold multiple layers of even the softest pastels. Pastelmat significantly reduces the need for fixative, which means that colors remain vibrant and fresh once applied. It has the added bonus of being gentle on both fingers and blending tools. It is acid free and lightfast.

Clairefontaine 24 x 30 cm PastelMat Pastel Card Pad No1, 360 g, 12 Sheets, Assorted Colours : Arts, Crafts & Sewing
The pastel adheres so well to this Pastelmat paper that you don't need to use a fixative between each layer. You are able to multiply the layers without a saturation effect. Pastelmat brings new opportunites for pastel artists, offering a coarser surface than velour but a softer surface than sand paper. This palette includes Dark Blue, Light Blue, Wine, and Sand sheets.
