Hahnemuhle Velour is an artist-quality 260gsm pastel paper which is both acid-free and archival. It is composed of an acid-free backing sheet which has been coated with inert synthetic fibers. This gives the surface a velvety feel which has sufficient tooth to hold soft pastel color, as well as oil pastel, charcoal or soft pencils.

Because Velour can hold a lot of pastel, it is perfect for painterly pastel artists who create works with soft edges.

This gummed pad measures 24 x 32cm and contains ten sheets. The sheets are of 9 different colors: white, medium gray, yellow, orange, dark gray, sand, ocher, light gray, and black.
