NEW! Colourfix Suede


A new, softer version of Colourfix paper. Like the orginal Colourfix, Colourfix Suede is an archival quality surface suitable for use with pastels, charcoal, pencils, inks, acrylics, gouache and watercolours. Silverpoint artists might also like to experiment with white Colourfix Suede.

The paper's surface is less abrasive than regular Colourfix but is still able to hold multiple layers of pastel with its softer tooth. The base paper is a 500gsm hot press watercolour paper that provides a rigid support for painting.

Available in 8 colours and two sizes: White Suede, Black Suede, Jacaranda, Kangaroo Grey, Brown Paper Bag, Tasman Sky, Kalangadoo and Outback Blush. Assorted packs also available. Sizes: 19" x 27" and 14" by 18".

Wow! How exciting! Do you know when it will be available and if it will be available in the US soon?

I can't seem to find out much about it.

Where can I buy Colourfix Suede in the UK to try. Current favourite pastel surface is Fisher 400, current favourite cps surface is Pastelmat so I'm very keen to find whether this 'bridges the gap'

I've just called the number you supplied for your UK distibutor (thanks for that)and they said that you had a supply problem. Considering this was the same as the US prospective customers reported last year is there any future in waiting?
Cheers
