Velour paper

Velour paper is made using inert synthetic fibres on an acid-free backing sheet. Its fuzzy felt surface replicates the texture of velvet. Velour is a great surface for using pastel colours be it crayons or colour pencils, allowing creators the option to venture out of the standard paper options. The texture and the longer fibered surface also makes it great for edge work. Popular among animal and portrait artists, this paper allows you to achieve photo-realistic results with perfect colour saturation and vibrance without any fuzziness. Ideal for a wide range of subjects like landscapes and wildlife, velour paper can be framed with wood and glass.
