Informative and very helpful surface and technique review

Denise reviewed several surfaces (pastelboard, pastelmat and UART) and the manner in which they accepted different media and how finished drawings might look. I had used one of the surfaces before - Pastelmat - but got excellent new insights and a better understanding of why I often had problems with it. I will be trying out UART soon and the techniques described in the class. As always, the demo was clear, friendly and very helpful.

My First Pastelmat Experience

The most impressive thing was the possibility to make light layers above the dark ones. Softness of edges is also good for such drawings as portraits. In addition you can use pastel as underpainting.

First try

I have tried this paper just now with coloured pencils, copied a pic of two dogs of one of your books. Of course I used wrong colour paper, but it a learning experience. So far I think it’s great can’t wait to do more now.

I think the author explains everything very well. But I was using Colourfix and then Uart for texture. Now I am going back to non textured surfaces so I won’t be using pastel mat . I might in the future.
