I like working on prepared paper, ie. colorfix (has a sandy surface that holds pastel well and allows for build up & rich color. This particular "painting" was done on pastel paper from a 9"X 12" Canson Mi-Teintes (assorted colors) pad. I also use the 12" X 16" pads. The entry titled "Flower Power" was my first attempt at doing a larger piece...see my comments. Try the colorfix (prepared) paper. You can buy it at most art supply stores...or you can prepare your own paper. I have tried other materials such as a velour covered board, etc. Try experimenting with anything that has a "tooth" to it.<BR/><BR/>I was unable to post on your blog because the ymsrg(?) tag,or whatever, was unrecognizable by my server?.
