Jean and Sharon, I have the MDF and the gesso, do I need the acrylic? I will go get the Golden for pastels. Also, is there a tooth or texture to this surface? Would either of you mind a bit more detail on how to make this? Also, how to you "fix" your pastels to the board? I assume you are using soft pastels. Are they very fragile when finished? Can you layer at all? Which ground do you repair with? So many questions. Anything you can tell me would be helpful. I would like to try! Perhaps a response here is not appropriate. I wouldn't want to sidetrack anyone from this beautiful painting. Just gorgeous, Jean! I hate paper too.
