PASTELS
I use many brands of
pastels from hard to soft.
The ones that I use most often are:
Creatacolor (under painting)
Prismacolor Pastels (formerly Grumbacher)
Mount Vision (mid working set)
Girault (base of my location working set)
Diane Townsend (great greens)
Schmincke (good grays)
Unison
Terry Ludwig
80 piece 1/2 stick set of Sennelier (good accents)
For my surface I use only Kitty Wallis Sand Paper mounted on board and
some surfaces I make myself. I mostly use the white surface but
sometimes use the Belgian Mist tone.
