Unleash your potential with premium pastel paper Canson Mi-Teintes Velvet is a superior quality paper specifically designed for pastel artists seeking excellence. This pad contains 12 sheets in carefully selected brown and earth tones, offering a warm, natural foundation for landscapes, portraits, and wildlife art. Unlike the traditional Mi-Teintes paper, the Velvet series features a specialized coating. The surface is velvety soft to the touch yet possesses an incredible "tooth". It grabs and holds pigment so effectively that you can layer colours extensively without the surface becoming clogged or slippery. Key Features: No Fixative Required: Because the surface holds pigment securely, there is no need to use fixative. This preserves the natural vibrancy and velvety texture of your pastels.Exceptional Weight (430 gsm): The paper is extremely thick and sturdy. It stays flat and withstands vigorous application.Mixed Media Ready: The robust surface accepts wet techniques, allowing for underpainting with water or alcohol-based washes.Detail & Blend: Ideal for both precise, fine details and soft, seamless blending. Pro Tip: Use the brown background tones to your advantage by letting some of the paper show through your work. This unifies the colour palette and adds warmth. Since the paper handles moisture well, try creating an underpainting with watercolours or ink, then layer soft pastels on top for a rich, dimensional finish.
