She referred me to your blog which had everything I needed to know. Thanks so much for all of the information you share. You really help a lot of people.

I may have to give it a go with Ludwigs or Blue Earth or GA sometime.<br /><br />I buy the pads of PastelMat because I work small, but also got some sheets a while back to cut down because I enjoy it so much. It's a paper I like to always keep stocked on. Love that black color - it's not really black but a glitter dark almost graphite color. Black shows up sharp and distinct against it, to the point that in nocturnes I can use black accents or silhouettes more effectively than any other surface. <br /><br />It hints at being sprinkled with stars. Yet it's dark enough to give the vibrant "Color on black" stained glass brilliance. A perfect paper for so many things and that actually is my favorite color in it. All are useful but the White is good for Colourist intensity covering the whole surface, the black Anthracite for making light and bright colors pop letting a little of it show.robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-36975778356109965072015-05-27T18:41:09.884-04:002015-05-27T18:41:09.884-04:00I love Pastelmat, and yes it really is a wonderful...I love Pastelmat, and yes it really is a wonderful match for PanPastels too.
