Josef,
I recently spent 30 min. in front of all the different papers at the art store pulling and feeling and reading their names. I finally selected this gray green (which doesn't come through in the post). It is very heavy but it's not rough. What aggravates me is that I don't remember what the name of the paper is.
I have been taking my paper to my local framer who has some kind of machine which attaches the paper very permanently to a piece of half inch foam board. It makes it pretty easy to set up on my easel. However, I read in other threads that it might not be so good for the paper to be directly touching the foam board. Ah hum.
This has been done with soft pastels only. As I mentioned above I have been working on the arms and hands trying to get their correct shape and also trying to reduce them in value as not to over power. I am going to try and finish it with the hands. The cop out crop will always be an option.
