Ok, so I said a few months ago  that I would try doing a pastel piece in velour and see how it compared to Fisher400, well I did this with "The Warning", and I must say, I think I got a far better result, I loved the way my pencil just flowed over the velour, but I hate it when I hit a piece on the paper that seems to score it! I think I will stick with the Velour, and use the Fisher for birds or such like!!

Going back to velour

For a while I have been using Fisher400 paper, while it is good I cannot seem to get the delicate fur detail that I get with Velour so I have gone back to the old favourite, I am going to do pieces in Velour that I have done on Fisher400 and see if which looks the best so I am going to post the pictures that I have done on Fisher400, and then post the Velour images to see which looks best!
