<p>Clairefontaine Pastelgrain is a 360gsm pastel paper with a distinctive textured surface designed for dry pastel techniques. Its pronounced grain provides a strong tooth that grips pigment and allows multiple layers of color to be applied without quickly reaching saturation. Compared with Clairefontaine Pastelmat, Pastelgrain has a coarser surface that encourages expressive mark-making and pronounced textural effects.</p><p>The surface supports rich, vibrant color, smooth blending and controlled erasing, making it suitable for both detailed work and looser, gestural applications.

Suitable for beginners and experienced pastel artists, Pastelgrain offers a versatile surface for exploring color, texture and layering.</p><p>This is a Clairefontaine Pastelgrain No. 2 Gummed Pad containing 12 sheets of 360gsm paper in Assorted Natural Colors, measuring 30 x 40cm.</p><p><strong>Please note,</strong> Pastelgrain may occasionally have small spots or areas of discoloration as a result of the manufacturing process.
