Sennelier Surfaces

Sennelier sketchbooks and pastel papers are regarded as some of the highest-quality around,  largely because of the materials and manufacturing methods behind them. While they’re designed for artists, the underlying engineering of the paper itself plays a major role in their performance.

  • Archival materials: Acid-free, lignin-free pulp prevents yellowing and fiber breakdown.
  • Optimized sizing: Controls how media sits on the sheet—clean lines on sketch paper, strong pigment hold on pastel paper.
  • Engineered surface tooth: La Carte and other pastel papers use a consistent micro-abrasive surface that grips pastel layers without slippage.
  • Dimensional stability: Heavy, well-distributed fibers resist buckling under pressure, solvents, or fixatives.
  • Lightfast, embedded colors: Tinted pastel grounds are stable and won’t fade over time.
  • Professional construction: Stitch-bound sketchbooks open flat and preserve a smooth, uninterrupted drawing surface.
