The last time Bob posed for us, I did one big painting
in acrylic on canvas. This time, I did a bunch of drawings in pastel (and colored pencil) on paper. The one with a solid, dark brown background was done on Colorfix Paper, which has a rough, colored coating that helps pastels stick to the surface. The others were all done on bristol vellum treated with sauce.
Although they are all very well done and fun to look at the one against the coated paper vibrates with light and the contrast makes the use of the pastels look especially rich and painterly.
