Hi Chris,
Thank you for your response. In a previous post, you stated you enjoyed using a grey-greene pastel paper. Since I began pastels, I have basically undercoated a portrait in 3 values of green. I am not quite sure how I started doing this, but enjoyed the tones of the greens showing through the over painting.
I was wondering if you could share what paper that is as Canson has no paper color listed as "grey-green." I have been using Canson felt grey and their tan which appears to have a hint of a grey-green value.
Also, regarding the underpainting on paper. Yes, the Canson buckles with applied moisture. Although, just experimenting with liquids, the turp and pastel dry flat and leave a very enjoyable texture. My only fear is over a period of time what the turp would do to the paper.
Thanks again,
Geri
