Clairefontaine’s PastelGrain Pads are premium-quality pads specifically designed for artists working with pastels, though they are equally suitable for other dry media such as charcoal, colored pencils, and graphite. Each pad contains finely textured paper that has a subtle, uniform grain, offering the ideal surface for layering colours and achieving fine detail in artwork. The texture strikes a balance between smoothness and tooth, allowing for excellent pigment adhesion while minimizing the dust typically associated with pastel use.
The acid-free, archival-quality paper ensures that the artwork remains vibrant and intact over time, resisting yellowing or deterioration. These pads come in various tonal colours that complement different artistic styles and enhance the visual richness of pastel work. The pages are glued on one side for easy removal, allowing artists to separate sheets without damaging the artwork.
Available in multiple sizes, PastelGrain Pads are favored by professional and amateur artists alike for their durability, versatility, and ability to maintain the richness and depth of pastel pigments. Whether creating soft transitions or bold, saturated strokes, these pads provide a reliable surface that brings out the best in your pastels.
