Ali's Bend--pastel on Uart paper. I finished this pastel today. I wasn't pleased with the color and composition at first. After todays's effort I feel it now flows much better.

    Hi Christopher, I love your pastel work. Have you always used UArt paper? I am fishing around looking for good sanded paper I love Wallis so. Do you tape the edges of your paper when you are painting?

    thanks very much Carole and Megha. Carole I use prinarily Uart paper . I have used Wallis in the past which is also a good product. I use the 400 grit uart paper which is a medium sand texture. Yes I usually tape the outside to a hard surface. Thanks again...tom
