This is super - so nice to see Marjolein. Perhaps I should try painting my dog sometime.....you make it look so easy.

[johnpickedboogers]

Awesome.

question the paper you use, does it have a sandpaper like texture?

And is it easier to work pastels on them rather than on normal paper with "tooth"?

[MarjoleinKruijt]

@johnpickedboogers: Thanks. Yes it has a lightly sanded texture, which sticks firm on the paper (unlike 'sandpaper' which comes off after hard pressure). The rougher the texture the more pastel powder it can cary. So you can add more layers.

That is a wonderful demo. Great pastel pencil work

[customanimalart]

very pretty. What paper are you using and do you use a fixative on your work?

[MarjoleinKruijt]

@customanimalart: Thank you! Here I'm working on colourfix paper (made with its primer on a larger piece of paper). It has quite some grid, so a fixative isn't necessary. Sometimes half way to maintain the structure.
