Hi, I must say, you are the BEST pastel artist I have ever seen! Do you ever paint this on anything else, such as Matt Board, or Foam Board? This is new to me, so I was wondering if it could be applied to something lighter in weight.

@dragoneca2  Thank you very much, you are very kind. You could paint on matt board but 2ply hot pressed illustration board is the best alternative.

Tee hee, this is a very useful video and also made me chuckle a little, especially when you're counting down the blender. :)

@carltontattoo actually you can purchase powdered pumice stone at a good hardware/ paint store. I like using powdered pumice stone better than marble dust.
