Canson Mi-Teintes Touch & Velvet Pastel Paper

Canson Mi-Teintes Touch & Velvet — Premium Textured Pastel Papers for Serious Artists

Taking the legendary Mi-Teintes name to a new level, the Touch and Velvet ranges are Canson's latest innovation for pastel artists who demand more — more layers, more grip, more depth. Both papers are designed to hold an exceptional amount of pigment without fixative, making them ideal for highly detailed, multi-layered work.

Mi-Teintes Touch

A sanded pastel paper with a rough, sandpaper-like surface that aggressively grips pigment, allowing you to build up numerous layers with precision and intensity. The coarser texture makes it the go-to choice for artists working in soft pastel, pastel pencil, and coloured pencil who want maximum pigment hold and a bold, textured finish.

Mi-Teintes Velvet

A smoother, velvety surface that offers a more refined working experience. Pigment glides on gently and blends beautifully, producing rich, luminous results with a painterly quality. Particularly well-suited to landscapes, skies, and atmospheric work where a softer, more seamless finish is desired.

Key Features

• 430gsm — a substantial, heavyweight paper that stays flat and handles multiple layers with ease
• Acid free — archival quality for long-lasting, fade-resistant work
• No fixative required — the textured surface holds pigment securely without spraying
• Multi-layer capability — build up rich, complex colour without the surface breaking down
