Experimenting with Different Papers

Results from our Class:

Wouldn’t you agree that the class did a fabulous job on these exercises!   I love how people see colour different, and the individual stroke technique makes everyone unique.

They used two different types of paper : a sanded (pastelmat) and unsanded  (mi-teintes)  There were various different colours of papers used as well, which resulted in a different affect.

All of these exercises were done using the nupastels and a foam blending tool and/or finger for blending  the initial sky layers.  Blending tool worked best with the sanded papers.  I think that a softer pastel would have worked better for the canson paper.
