Richeson Pastel Gatorfoam is a premium pastel painting surface integrated directly onto rigid Gator board substrate. The grit and color are infused into the surface — not coated on — giving an exquisite toothy finish that grabs and holds pigment, layer after layer, without dust loss or pigment shift.

Rigid Gator board substrate — won't warp, sag, or buckle under wet techniques or heat
Toothy texture — grabs and holds pastel layer after layer for rich, deep color
