I love PastelMat with hard pastels and pastel pencils, especially with Pan Pastels or Pans and a combination of other pastels afterward. <br /><br />So there's technique and a different set of favorites for PastelMat. <br /><br />Now you're tempting me to try the Diane Townsend pastels, get a set of them. If I looked at them in person to put together a set from open stock that might work better. I look at the photos of the sets and they always seem to have a lot more muted colors than pure hues, when I like to have the spectrum and tints rather than more neutrals than anything else. It's a different palette and for me, an awkward one. But if I could cherry pick them that might be different.robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.com
