Hello Everyone,
A question about softness in pastel.
Comparatively, where does Unison stand in softness. Compared to Rembrandt, Schmicke, and Sennelier.
I love my Nu-Pastel. I am finding the set of Rembrandts recently purchased are feeling scratchy. I am sure it is me and my lack of knowledge. I try to break a stick to use the side and it will crumble instead of break and they are scratcing the Nu-Pastel with streaks and lines for the removed color. I never experienced this with the purchase of single sticks, just with the set.
Also, paper. I am presently using Canson Mi-Tientes. Is there another paper similar to the texture of the smooth side of Canson that would withstand underpainting. I have played around with turp and pastel (I know that's a bad thing) on Canson. I sure like the consistency but from what I read it is not a good idea on Canson.
Sorry this is lengthy but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
