UART Paper: A Versatile Surface for Creative Expression

UART Pastel Paper, made by Uneeda, offers artists a durable and versatile surface that supports a wide range of media.

Backed by over 50 years of experience in coated abrasives, Uneeda is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of sandpaper products. With UART, it used its expertise to create a paper that meets the needs of professional artists.

What sets UART paper apart is its flexibility and unique sanded texture. Available in seven grades, from coarse (240) to very fine (800), it allows you to choose the right tooth for your preferred technique and medium. The 400 grade is a popular starting point, offering a balanced surface ideal for soft and hard pastels, coloured pencils, charcoal, graphite, and more.

One of the most impressive features of UART paper is its ability to accept wet media without losing its tooth or damaging the surface. This is great for underpainting, including water, alcohol, and oil-based washes. It is perfect for artists who like to build layers or combine dry and wet techniques. Unlike many other sanded papers, UART doesn’t require fixatives. This allows your colours to remain fresh and vibrant while reducing chemical use in the studio.

Made to high archival standards (pH-neutral and acid-free), UART Premium Sanded Pastel Paper will ensure that your work is preserved over time. Whether your art is delicate or bold, UART provides a stable, responsive surface that supports your creative process from start to finish.
