This is week 3 for my pastel class and I must say the group is really doing very well. They are finding pastel to be a colorful medium that is very forgiving. Today we used Canson paper that has much less tooth than Wallis ( our favorite). Paper plays a big roll in a painting. Some papers have texture which can be used to enhance your painting. Some papers can hold many layers of pastels while others are limiting as to the layers you can apply. Lots to think about when planning you painting.
We welcome two new people to our Class. Charlene Sirois and Valerie McLeod. You will see that they adapted quickly and produced some wonderful paintings.
