Description of UART Sanded Pastel Paper M 148931

Our computer controlled electrostatic coating process results in a consistent grain application. Uart pastel paper is ph neutral and acid free. It can accept under painting using a wide variety of media’s such as water, oil, mineral spirits, turpenoid and alcohol. After the under painting process, the tooth still holds many layers of pastel and the grain will remain affixed to the paper. Uart is available in seven grades from 240 to 803

Great paper! Misleading product photo

I love the paper I received. It was exactly what I needed and it's super high quality. If you buy it, just re-read the "10 packs" part of the title. The picture may make you believe that there are 30 sheets of paper and you will be greatly mistaken if only 10 sheets appear on your door.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Style 90

I don't know exactly what I bought.

I'm new to pastels and have never used UArt. It took forever to receive the product and the packaging was torn with paint on the outside. It looked like a reused outer box. When I looked at the back, it just said "400". I don't know if this is the real paper or if it was bought at a hardware store. The paper also curls horribly, causing my images to have a crease in the middle from trying to overcompensate the other direction to flatten the paper.

Pros
  • After touching up, the tooth still holds many layers of pastel and the grain sticks to the paper
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

I prefer Clairefontaine Pastelmat

I decided to try this paper to compare to my Clairefontaine Pastelmat. For me there is no competition. This is the WAY to rough texture. It gnaws at my pastels and makes it harder for me to get sharp lines. When you do freestyle, you can light it up. Make sure you are aware of the texture of the sandpaper. Some people can't stand that feeling. It's not cheaper so I'm going back to Pastelmat. Also, if you choose to tape the paper to your work surface, remember that the tape will not stick to the

Pros
  • Our computer controlled electrostatic coating process gives a uniform grain

Best Pastel Stand for Beginners

As a pastelist with less than a year of experience I can say without qualification that Uart is one of the best pastel papers for beginners. Period. At the beginning of my journey into painting, I started with unpolished paper. Instead of layering colors in complex or pretty ways, I "made mud" on these unpolished papers. The Uart has a sandpaper-like finish. It holds many coats of paint, even more than you would hope for if you used a fixing spray on the first few coats. I'm a very clumsy…

Pros
  • Can be used for painting with a variety of mediums including water, oil, mineral spirits, turpentine and alcohol
Cons
  • Not bad but...
