The paper your pastels have been begging for in an art journal.
Most art journals are built for watercolor, acrylic, and ink. Soft pastel gets an afterthought, paper that was never actually made with soft pastelist in mind.
I spent years pressing soft, buttery color onto paper that fought me, letting pigment slide off instead of holding it, or turning rich color chalky instead of full and true. I made do, because that's what we've always had to do. So I created the journal I wished existed.
The Winifred Velvet Art Journal is bound using Canson Mi-Teintes Velvet paper, prized among pastel artists for its luxurious tooth and its ability to hold pigment in rich layers. The surface invites blending without resistance and color without compromise, capturing every nuance of your hand and your eye.
Named for my great-grandmother, Margaret Winifred, the woman I was named after. Her hands were always creating, with a patience she passed down through generations. This journal carries her name because it was made with the same care she put into everything she touched.
This art journal wasn't made to be "good enough" for soft pastel. It was made for soft pastel. Sized on purpose to be a real working art journal, easy to toss in a bag or keep open on your studio table for daily studies. Each one is hand-bound, custom made just for you.
