I do envy artists who work from one side of a painting to the other, it just shows they have confidence that nothing will go wrong and I'm not that brave. As for different supports, I'm afraid I do tend to stick with what I know and until recently just used heavy cartridge paper, mount board and pastel paper. I've also heard good things about Fisher 400 but it's quite expensive and I'm happy with what I use, obviousl if I need to try something I will but I think once you find something that suits you may as well stick with it.artbykarieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316253118493344384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852128184670515432.post-82971407402193588312009-05-29T13:20:39.056+01:002009-05-29T13:20:39.056+01:00Enjoyed the walk in the woods!

I'm experimenting with different supports... just bought some Pastelbord but haven't tried it yet. Would love to get some Fisher 400... heard some good things about it.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186138266137470331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852128184670515432.post-35684350244532937512009-05-29T11:51:14.214+01:002009-05-29T11:51:14.214+01:00Oh poor Pickle!!
