Hmmmm
I don't really know if I'm a heavy, medium or light handed pastelist. I have only used Canson because that's really the only thing available at my local art supply stores. I will be trying some new things, art panels, paper mounted on panel, etc. to see what will work for my new rep. She wants them mounted to a firm surface to make framing easier without concern for longterm warping or buckling of the paper.
I am finding that the Canson paper tends to "pill" when I blend. That's the only time I believe I'm heavy handed. I do a great deal of blending and smudging, so I need a durable surface. My next project is on a low grit art board, so I guess we'll find out how that works after I dive in.
There are so many unknowns for me, being new in the industry, that change makes me nervous. Fortunately we have this forum and the experts herein that have tread this ground before us to show us the way to go.
