9X12" ORIGINAL PASTEL PAINTING

BY Barbara J. Mason

 PRIVATE COLLECTION 

Today I experimented with a different type of paper. 

I typically use a sanded or soft rag paper, but

I found a tablet of Canson Pastel Paper and decided to give it a try.

 I really like the smooth surface and the fact that it allows me

 to produce  really thin and straight lines. 

This is a challenge with the sanded surfaces.

 With the Canson Pastel Paper I was able to apply multiple thin layers of soft pastels. 

I wasn't able to add as many layers as with the sanded surfaces,

but enough to create the desired depth and  color intensity.  

Next I will try a landscape and a floral

painting on this surface and see how things turn out!
