I'm trying to use only the colors in the NuPastel set of 24. It is difficult to get them OUT of the packaging. While the work is in progress, I leave each one I use tipped up for easy access.

Paint Along with Me - Orange Slices - Day Three
A couple quick notes. In a round about way, I found a post from the first time I worked on Pastelmat (the same paper I've RECENTLY fallen in love with). It was seven years ago. Here's the link.

Have you done much under painting on the PastelMat? I love the light scumbbled stroke showing the surface through... Very textured. Would make a wonderful impression of glistening.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried under painting with a wet medium on Pastelmat. I agree with your thought about using the paper for glistening but I suspect it isn't a light enough value in this case. Good thought though - I'll use as much of it as I can.
