Art Spectrum Colourfix Coated Pastel Paper - Cool Tones 10 Pack of 9" x 12" Sheets, shown in fan


It's called &quot;Colourfix&quot; for the obvious reason. This very permanent, lightfast coated paper withstands all manner of artistic experimentation (and even punishment).    These papers are used successfully in practically all media&nbsp;&mdash; pastels, charcoal, pencil, oils, acrylic, gouache, inks, silverpoint, and even watercolor. The natural toothy surface is ideal for pastels, pencil, or charcoal, as it will hold multiple overlays of color without the need to fix between layers.    The absence of fixative allows the velvet bloom and vibrant color of pastel to be preserved. (Apply a final light spray of fixative if desired.)    The unique, fine tooth surface is produced by screen printing Art Spectrum Colourfix Primer onto a heavy weight Hot Press watercolor paper. Available in 9&quot;&nbsp;&times; 12&quot;&nbsp; (229&nbsp;mm&nbsp;&times; 305&nbsp;mm) or 19&frac12;&quot;&nbsp;&times; 27&frac12;&quot;&nbsp; (495&nbsp;mm&nbsp;&times; 686&nbsp;mm) sheets. 140&nbsp;lb (300&nbsp;gsm).
