Mi-Teintes Velvet Pads — The Ultimate Surface for Pastel and Mixed Media Artists

Mi-Teintes Velvet Pads offer a luxurious, high-performance surface tailored to pastel artists and creatives who work across a range of dry and wet media. Each 264 lb. (430 gsm) sheet features velvety cellulose fibers that grip multiple layers of pastel pigment without dulling or muddying colors. This unique texture pulls pigment deep into the surface, resulting in vibrant, lasting artwork and a near dust-free application—ideal for studio or classroom settings.

These pads are not just for pastels—thanks to internal and external sizing, the archival-quality paper is also perfect for watercolor, gouache, acrylics, and more. The heavyweight construction supports blending, layering, and painterly effects, while preserving detail and color integrity. Whether you're a student or seasoned professional, Mi-Teintes Velvet Pads are the go-to choice for creating richly textured, expressive works.
