Introducing a new Professional Sanded Art Paper developed by colored pencil artist Alyona Nickelsen of Brush and Pencil.
LuxArchival is an excellent surface for Soft Pastel! The base paper is 100% Cotton, Acid-Free, Lignin Free, and a substantial 140 lb./300 gsm weight. The Archival surface will not yellow, darken or deteriorate in any way and will last 100+ years.
The sanded surface has an aggressive 400 grit, is even and consistent without any visible pattern. The extremely durable White surface handles any dry media, holds many layers of pastel, handling erasures, corrections and reworking without damage to the paper.
Suitable for ALL liquid underpainting mediums: handles Water, Alcohol and Odorless Mineral Spirits without buckling or softening the surface.
LuxArchival is available in White only and in three sheet sizes. Rolls of 48” x 5 yards will be available later this year.

It feels like Wallis Pastel paper. I am thrilled working with this surface. I am able to use my own style of painting without frustration. It accepts multiple layers of pastel.
I am so glad that you have this product available. The packaging was good and it arrived flat without any curling of the sides.

I love this paper! My go to papers are Uart and Pastelmat, but this will definitely be a new favorite! I especially love that it is white, doesn't have to be mounted for wet underpainting and takes multiple layers of pastel.
