Review on 🎨 Clairefontaine EXA-96016 96016C Pastelmat: Glued Pad, Assorted Colour 18x24cm -High Quality Pastel Paper for Artistic Creations by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superb Heavyweight UK Paper

This UK Sanded Paper is a Superb Heavyweight (300gsm) pastel paper. Grit, which isn't listed on the packaging I have, is relatively good - I suspect it's rated at 600 for paper sold in the US. This is a neutral white not easily found in sandpaper sold in the US. If it didn't have to be shipped from the UK this would be my favorite pastel paper. As in 2016, it has to be shipped from England, so orders come with relatively high shipping costs and long delivery times (weeks!). Pastelmat would also be a great paper for colored pencils, but I haven't tried it for this type of work.
