In this article, we will also highlight the best paper for pastels product recommendations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Different Pastel Surfaces<\/h2>\n<p>You can use pastels on a variety of surfaces, all of which will result in a different finished effect. The most common surfaces with which to use pastels are pastel paper, canvas, and pastel board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6574\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture.jpg\" alt=\"Pastel Texture\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Texture-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Pastel Paper<\/h3>\n<p>The best paper for pastels is the thicker, textured specialty pastel paper. These texturized sheets are made with a slightly irregular textures pressed into them during the manufacture process. This is also called Ingres paper, which is easily available and comes in a wide range of colors and tones so that you can pick the colors specific to your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Pastel paper is available either in single sheets or in pad form, so you can decide how much you need. Most of these paper varieties have been treated to give them added texture so your designs will look amazing and last for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Any pastel artist will tell you that aside from knowing about pastel texture, the most important consideration when selecting paper for pastels is the \u2018tooth\u2019 and texture of the paper surface. The tooth of your paper describes any surface marks and slightly raised bumps that you can feel and see on rougher surfaces. A good example would be to look at your usual white A4 paper, where you will notice that it has little to no tooth at all.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The reason that this is so important to the outcome and quality of your work is because pastels have particles that rely on the use of the texture and tooth in order to literally grip onto the surface, or else they just will not stick.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Pastels on Canvas<\/h3>\n<p>Not all canvas is equal; some have been primed beforehand, and others work best with certain mediums. One such canvas is that of the pastel canvas. This is made specifically for using pastels on canvas and has a surface prepped with grit, similar to that of pastel paper. This canvas allows you to work with minimal to no fixatives, which prevents your work from appearing dull or fading.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you do not want to add a fixative, it is advisable to use separators when storing your art in order to prevent smudging and other damage. These are not available everywhere, however, and you may have a hard time locating them. If this is the case, we have a solution! You can use normal unprimed canvas as is. Alternatively, you can even prime it yourself using <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3b1CuNQ\" rel=\"nofollow\">Golden Pastel Ground<\/a><\/strong>, which will add the tooth you need for your pastel particles to grip properly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Pastel Board<\/h3>\n<p>Another option when wanting to produce larger scale or more professional-looking pieces would be to use pastel board. Masonite or even clay are used as a base for mounting pastel paper or sometimes <a href=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/en\/watercolor-paper\/\"><strong>watercolor paper<\/strong><\/a> designs. They are then treated and sprayed with fine particles of grit to add to the tooth and texture of surface. Using pastel boards would obviously be a more expensive route than paper when just starting out, but it would be a great way to display your beautiful creations when you have the extra money to spend.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Now that we have narrowed down some surface options, let us take a look at the best paper for pastels recommendations.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Our Recommendations for the Best Paper for Pastels<\/h2>\n<p>There are many different paper products for pastels on the market these days, and although the variety offers a world of possibility in terms of what you can create, it also means that it can be difficult to find the right product for your needs.

These come in a highly affordable, easy-to-use &#8220;flip-file&#8221; binder so that you can take your designs with you.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.asa2_1b7247d7c291589b18163286d8470e40 .asa2-read-more-state ~ .asa2-read-more-trigger:before {content:\"Show more\";}.asa2_1b7247d7c291589b18163286d8470e40 .asa2-read-more-state:checked ~ .asa2-read-more-trigger:before {content:\"Show less\";}<\/style>\t\t\t<div class=\"asa2_h_box_tpl asa2_1b7247d7c291589b18163286d8470e40\" data-tpl=\"_fluid-painting-horizontal-box\"><div class=\"asa2_horizontal_box_outer\">\n  <div class=\"asa2_horizontal_box\" >\n\n    <div class=\"asa2-group\">\n    <div class=\"item_img asa2_product_col_1 \">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0024KMQ6K?tag=fluid-painting-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\"  title=\"STRATHMORE 400 Series Pastel Pad\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-linktype=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51sYdvPPUCL._SL500_.jpg\"  alt=\"STRATHMORE 400 Series Pastel Pad\" \/><\/a>  <\/div>    <div class=\"asa2_product_col_2 \">\n                              \n \n                <div class=\"asa2_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0024KMQ6K?tag=fluid-painting-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-linktype=\"title\">STRATHMORE 400 Series Pastel Pad<\/a><\/div>\n        <ul>\r\n \t<li>Heavy-weight and acid-free paper is the best quality for artists<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sheets have a textured finish with six assorted tints in each pad<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ideal for grabbing pigment and aids in blending<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n                \n      <a class=\"asa2_fbh_button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0024KMQ6K?tag=fluid-painting-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">View on Amazon<\/a>\n      <\/div>    \n    <\/div>\n    <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"sue-shadow-wrap su-u-trim sue-shadow-inline-no\"><div class=\"sue-shadow sue-shadow-style-simple\"><div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\"><div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:5px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Best paper for soft pastels<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Available everywhere<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Can be used with other mediums<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Thicker than sketch paper texture (but still works for sketch artistry)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:5px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Thinner paper may tear with heavy mediums<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Not many color options<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Pastel Paper Explained<\/h2>\n<p>Now we know what papers work best for pastels. But, did you know that just like pastel textures, there are different paper textures to look out for too? These can also affect the quality of your designs and be affected by the medium you choose to work with. As we have seen from the product recommendations, papers come with various textures and grit factors, and knowing which to work with will make starting your projects a lot easier.&nbsp;Let us take a look at some different paper textures that are available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6575\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board.jpg\" alt=\"Pastel Board\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pastel-Board-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Ingres or Laid Paper<\/h3>\n<p>These papers are distinguished by their distinct embossing details on the surface. When working with this paper you will notice the feel and texture is quite different to normal paper. Most of the pastel papers available are versions of Ingres paper and are quite an affordable option to look for.<\/p>\n<p>The upside is that these sheets are easy to work with as their textures are not too deep, so you can add fewer layers and blend more easily for a smooth finish. These laid papers usually have a noticeably more uniform pattern to them and larger gaps between each pattern, which means you would need to work a bit harder to cover your background and prevent it from showing through your artwork.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Honeycomb or Dimpled Paper<\/h3>\n<p>This style of pastel paper is very similar to the previous one in that it also has a slight texture seen on the surface. This paper&#8217;s pattern, however, is what sets the two apart, as it is defined as a honeycombed or more pitted shape. The honeycomb paper is pricier than the Ingres or laid designs, but still an affordable option for those who want to try it. Much like the Ingres, the honeycomb paper is not suited to lots of layers, but is relatively easy to use for blending work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6577\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture.jpg\" alt=\"Sketch Paper Texture\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sketch-Paper-Texture-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Paper with Grit<\/h3>\n<p>Sandpaper is what comes to mind when we think of these gritty sheets. The bonus with this material is their great grip on the pastel, which allows you to layer quite heavily and use thicker or even wet mediums. For beginners, it may take some time to get used to this material, as it is harder to produce finer lines or more accurate details in the beginning. But blending is very easy to do and these sheets are sturdier than most papers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Velour Surfaces<\/h3>\n<p>Velour options are also big in the pastel art space.&nbsp; These have a velvety, material-like feel to them and work well for soft pastels and mediums. Because it is a fabric, a fixative spray would need to be used to best preserve your artwork. These sheets can be expensive, so it is best to start on your paper options and work your way up to the boards and other materials.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>With all this useful information, you are now ready to purchase the best pastel paper and get started on your pastel journey.

These have a slightly raised texture pressed into the surface during the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Can I Use Pastels on Canvas or Board?<\/h3>\n<p>Being such a versatile medium, pastels can be used on a variety of flat surfaces. Contrary to belief, they do not do well on smoother, non-textured surfaces such as a sketch paper texture, as they are quite a rough medium and can stick easily, causing your paper to rip. If using oil pastels, the concern of the oil staining or seeping through your paper is also not ideal. Hence, a thicker, <a href=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/en\/best-paper-for-colored-pencils\/\"><strong>textured paper<\/strong><\/a> is more commonly used when working with pastels for optimum results. Other options to try would be pastel canvas, pastel boards, and even sandpaper, as these contain a high grit factor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What Is the Best Paper for Soft Pastels?<\/h3>\n<p>All pastels work well on a paper with a higher tooth or grip factor. This allows your medium to stick to the surface more effectively. These include thicker, texturized cardboards designed for pastel use specifically. Although one can also use other materials such as fabrics and canvas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most common questions when working with pastels is about the best paper for pastels.
