Sitting Out the Storm 11x9 pastel available $25.00 |
When you find your stash of pastel paper running thin I have found a cost friendly substitute. Regular old sand paper. This painting was done on black sand paper - that's what I had left over from some home projects. I pastel went on very nicely - in fact, it held the pastel just as well as the more expensive pastel papers. I still favor UArt because you can apply water to it and other substances for underpaintings. Now I haven't tried to apply water to the sand paper yet - so I guess that will be my next experiment. The little guy in this painting was above my head while I was sitting on my deck and he hung around for quite a while just watching me.
Just a reminder:
