The next lesson in pastels is clouds. I am still in this section. Here are the first two of the four that I have completed.
The one above is on pastelmat and the one below is Uart 400. There is a huge difference in the way the pastels sit on these papers. I will use all the left over Uart to sample/flatten my pastels.
This (below) was the first things I did and I used Uart. It seems to have come out okay but I am now disenchanted with it.
Oh Beth, the landscape on the pastelmat is so gorgeous! Pastels are such a wonderful medium. I've only done a tiny bit, but maybe some day I'll go back to them, with your example in mind.
Thanks Penny. I really love the velour paper the best and my paper order finally came yesterday. I've got a biggish piece on my easel and will do some painting on the velour today. I'm really loving this.
Is it resisting the color? Looks like some skipping.
ReplyDeleteIt is sanded paper. They all do that which is why I LOVE the velour paper
