I could write about the guts and grit it takes to create and share something new everyday, but that's not what I am thinking about.Today, the grit on my mind is the gorgeous grit on Wallis Sanded Paper. This summer, in exchange for an art lesson, I received a handful of this heavy sanded paper. I had heard pastel artists rave about it, but I had never seen it or worked with it. Simply put, grit on paper + pastel = WOW! Every piece I have done on this paper has had a wonderful velvet texture that I just love.
One of my favorite ways to relax is to draw these scribble paintings, they are always fun and I never know what to expect when the color is added. This little abstract is done with pastel pencils on the Wallis Sanded Paper.
I've always wanted to try the sanded paper--- then I can get the pastels out again. Love the vibrancy of the color.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of sanded paper before. I love texture so, if only I could find some..... !!! Your work is very colourful and fun. Thanks for the information. Nice work!
