Of course now you'll have me going around smelling pastelboard.:) And they already think I'm crazy...Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-27870447576832957672008-10-02T09:39:00.000-02:302008-10-02T09:39:00.000-02:30Colourfix and Pastelbord are similar, but not quit...Colourfix and Pastelbord are similar, but not quite the same. Since Pastelbord is on panel, there is no soft give like you have with Colourfix, and its a bit grittier. <BR/><BR/>I've found that colors tend to saturate a bit easier on Colourfix - I like both, but am leaning towards Colourfix of late. <BR/><BR/>I just wish Colourfix smelled like Pastelbord...something about that smell makes me want to draw, hehe.S.G.

Its a learning curve, this sanded paper and the amount of pigment it will take to achieve the correct colour values. <BR/><BR/>I love these old fashioned tomatoes Jo and they taste fantastic as well. I would imagine pastelboard is a very similar surface to Colourfix. I love how the pencils go on to the surface.<BR/><BR/>I agree Kari, I think there is a very similar effect with cp on this surface. It seems to make the colours richer somehow.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-91129631701977232452008-10-02T05:46:00.000-02:302008-10-02T05:46:00.000-02:30Looking gorgeous indeed.

I use the pastel board paper which has that sanded surface for pastels and I like the way it "eats" the pastel, makes the painting more juicy!Kari Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554918069264138736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-16665118823609350092008-10-02T03:24:00.000-02:302008-10-02T03:24:00.000-02:30Yes, Jeanette.

I haven't tried Colourfix, only Pastelboard and to me the coloring goes much faster on the sanded surface than paper.Jo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-86433485809777411092008-10-02T01:44:00.000-02:302008-10-02T01:44:00.000-02:30Hi Jeanette,Your tomatoes look great!

You seem to be a natural at this sanded surface business!Teresa Mallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978596700598817430noreply@blogger.com
