Comments about UArt Sanded Pastel Paper:

This paper is great in holding many different layers of pastels and also trying under painting techniques. I always heard about how great sanded papers are for pastels but had only used the Canson MT paper, which is great but doesn't take many layers. I tried the 400 series paper and it's toothy and keeps taking many different layers with no issues. I used watercolors for under painting and the paper didn't buckle at all.

Comments about UArt Sanded Pastel Paper:

I've been looking for a large sheet of pastel paper for awhile now and I finally settled on this one. I purchased a 600 and an 800 and they are wonderful! I was a bit wary of them at first because I'm used to working on charcoal paper and various pastel paper textures but I had never used one like this. It feels a lot like fine sandpaper which threw me for a loop but it's so fine that it almost feels like painting on it. I have issues with heavily textured paper as I have never liked it but the texture on this paper actually allows for a much smoother result while working. It's also thick and heavy so I can easily mix my watercolor with the pastel pencils. I really enjoy having this to work on!

I use the paper for Colored Pencil and water-soluble Colored Pencil Crayons. It is wonderful for both purposes and will not buckle when wet. I cannot say enough good about this surface and how well it works with this medium. The only thing limiting it is the one color it comes in. So far this has not presented a problem, as the base color is quite neutral.

I work in Oil Pastel and so far this is the best surface I have found. It has great texture to it for OP and it holds many layers. The only thing that I don't like about it is when you want to cut a large sheet down to size it tends to warp and want to roll up. Even a finished painting will want to do this. This is no problem though when you frame it.
