How can you dislike this paper, though it is expensive, it's Pastelmat

Clarefontaine Pastelmat is a wonderful surface to work on. It takes many layers of pastel without becoming “muddy”. The paper is easy to remove from the pad and has glassine in between the pages. I’m not a professional pastel artist but this paper will make you feel like one!

Excellent pour le pastel mais dispendieux

As a colored pencil and pastel artist, this is the surface I use for almost all of my drawings. I can even use water-based products with no warpage. A great paper product!

4 star due to being pricey. Still trying to get used to the pad. The texture is sandy. Using it primarily for colored pencils only. You can apply several layers. The paper is thick.
