Cane Garden Bay Caribbean Beach Painting

'Beach Stop' 8x10 pastel on board
Today I tried a new pastel surface for me...Ampersand Pastelbord. Marsha Savage recommended it highly. It is her new favorite surface so of course we have to try it out. I did like it and really need to try a few more so I can get the hang of it. What I did like is the ease of doing an alcohol wash. Since it is a board, you don't have to worry about the paper buckling from being too wet. That was very freeing! It will also be easy to frame. I took some work in progress photos and I want to put them all together on one post...there must be a way on photoshop so if I get it figured out, I will post more photos.

Karen,
What did you like the most about the ampersand? How do you compare it to Wallis?
I really like your Cane Garden Bay.
