Fabriano Tiziano coloured paper is made of a high-percentage mix of premium cotton and high quality cellulose.  It is acid free and archival.  The paper has an internal and external sizing and the colours are very lightfast.  The soft surface grain is obtained thanks to special felts making it ideal for : pastel, charcoal, graphite, pencil, sanguine and gouache.

The Clairefontaine’s PASTELMAT is a new concept for the pastel market!  You don’t need to use a fixative between each layer;  you are able to multiply the layers without a saturation effect.  It is more comfortable to blend thanks to the smoothness of the surface.  The Clairefontaine PASTELMAT, acid-free, is a cardboard on which thin fibres of cellulose are fixed.  Resistant, it keeps its original properties after being rubbed or wet.  In this pad, each sheet is protected by a sheet of Crystal paper.  Available in 2 sizes and in 4 colour combinations.  No’s, 1,2,4 & 5.
