Things I Leared Today
This post is an experiment - keeping notes on-line of things I learn or of which I need to remind myself.
Today - different textures of sanded paper respond differently to broad areas such as sky or backgrounds.
Smooth paper - UArt
- Rembrandt harder pastels work well. Blending with fingers can wear out the fingers.
- Sennelier works well for accents, last touches.
Textured paper - Arches self-sanded
- Rembrandt does not blend well over broad expanses - the paper texture keeps it from being smooth or blending one color into anohter
- Sennelier works better can be blended with the fingers
My favorite is Wallis.Both White and Belgian Mist, I usually do a water color wash,on white. LOOSE. It is not the painting. Hand made I like texture. The more the better. It looks like strokes of oil paint.I paint in oil too. Pastel my love.check out my web; my name.com
