A 360gsm, premium card surface specially developed for pastellists. Its unique velvety surface, made from a fine coating of cellulose fibres, has the ability to grab and hold multiple layers of even the softest pastels. You are able to apply multiple layers without a saturation effect which significantly reduces the need for fixative, allowing the colours to remain vibrant and bright. It has the added bonus of being gentle on both fingers and blending tools. It is acid free and lightfast. It is also water resistant which means that it can be used with wet media - such as acrylics and watercolour for washes and mixed media techniques.
