I hadn't thought of the sandpaper, but I will try... seeing that I am back in the room with that view and my pastels and moley.<BR/>Thanks also for pointing to Wolf Kahn again, I do have one of his books and I keep thinking about his pastels - I think with the way my use of colour has expanded over the past year, I really should go carefully through his book again, and to see what I can make of it.Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-41543990430985482382008-12-20T01:17:00.000+00:002008-12-20T01:17:00.000+00:00These are really great.

I tried one like this but it didn't turn out as well.<BR/><BR/>I would add that you can rough the paper with a fine sandpaper. <BR/><BR/>Sorry I didn't see this in August!Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-56218929462858958892008-08-21T14:10:00.001+01:002008-08-21T14:10:00.001+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brian McGurganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963409828276349170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-91122220878857933812008-08-21T14:10:00.000+01:002008-08-21T14:10:00.000+01:00I'm glad the explanation was useful to you, Gesa. ...I'm glad the explanation was useful to you, Gesa. These rubbed tones you've produced are beautiful. The contrast here in transparency of rubbed pastel versus the density of more heavily applied strokes on top of the rubbed areas is really appealing to me. This is one reason I don't care much for sanded papers - there is a whole vocabulary of marks and rubbings that don't translate well onto an abrasive support.
