MAIMOUFIN 10Sheets Sanded Pastel Paper for Artists,15.4"X10.7"Warm Color Pastel Paper for Dry,Wet Painting Sanded Art Paper for Pastels Pencils & Charcoal Soft Oil Pastels (Warm Color)

This is actually a luscious reddish black brown. Value2. Maimoufin works very well with soft pastels. It takes a Lot of layers. It does take a couple of layers to start filling up the background surfaced texture, but so does pastelmat. I think it's a great alternative. I would love to know how pastel pencils work on this surface. I may try them out and review how that goes. I wish they carried the blue color for this paper.. seems that color is only avail in expensive boards. Might splurge one day. The Only drawback.. When you don't like a painting, and you wash it off, it does warp and it's difficult to flatten it back out, so they're not as easily renewed. I really like how I can obtain this large sized paper, without the added expense. Really recommend Maimoufin. I don't know that the texture is any different from their older paper. I haven't really noticed that, but have only been using them for six months, or so...

Es ist sehr grobes Papier, aber für meine Pastellmalerei sehr gut geeignet. Man kann viele Lagen Kreiden auftragen

These are very similar to UART, but they don't curl up. They don't take quite as many layers and they don't like wet underpainting much, but they are very good value.

This seems to be a lesser-known brand of sanded pastel paper, but I really like it. It's thick and sturdy, takes washes well, and has a good tooth that accepts multiple layers of soft pastels. So far, I've only found it in a grayish brown, and I would be thrilled if it also came in something lighter, like white or cream. I've tried a number of other brands, but this remains my favorite. It's also considerably cheaper than most other brands, so it's a win-win situation for me.

Great for pastel work . Easy blending
