Clairfontaine Pastel Paper
The paper owes its name to painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. His famous portraits can be admired at the Musee du Louvre. In 1832 he developed for himself a laid finish paper best suited for pastels. This paper is well chosen for weight: not too light, thereby avoiding the risk of being torn by the pencil; nor too heavy, in which case it would lose the property of pliability - one of the particular attractions of this type of laid paper. It has a surface texture which "grasps" at the stroke of the pencil or the pastel crayon and has a high sensitivity to the most delicate shades of color.
