Anyone tried this paper? The write up sounds excellent, but would appreciate anyone with experience of using it giving me their opinion.
Thanks, Margaret

Hi Margaret,

I am sure you will find this paper excellent to use, I use it both with soft pastels and pastel pencils as well as Coloured pencils. I am always pleased with the results.

Thanks Bev. Finished the one I referred to earlier and yes, it worked out well. So, onward and upward..............just need to find something to draw that floats my boat so to speak. Margaret

Well I have a selection of my pictures in my Gallery, but none of those are on the Pastelmat as I just got that and the one picture I have done so far I gave to our friends. They have just come back from a two month holiday in Australia and took a photograph of an aboriginal painting in a pub and asked if I could reproduce it for them. I did and didnt get time to scan it or save it before they took it away. I did say they didnt have to feel obliged to have it, but guess they were keen as they came for lunch Sunday and off it went home with them.

However if you want to check out my pastels, and tinted charcoal you need to go on the gallery page. Margaret

Lovely work Margaret. I particularly like the swan with the cygnet on her back and the Ram.

Thanks Bev - the swan is in our living room right opposite my husband's chair and he just sits and stares at it, think he likes it!!!!!!!!! I love the Ram too, really enjoyed drawing it, especially the detail on the horns. Margaret
