Denise,

I just recently sent for the sample pack of 17 papers that is available at Dakota Art Pastels, for a fee of 25$. I was very pleased with the selection, and found that I really like the Wallis professional grade Archival paper, in Belgian gray, for my Conte' and Derwent pastel pencils.

My second choice is the Art Spectrum Colourfix paper. I also like the velour paper for use with softer pastels. I had never tried any of these papers before, and like you, only used the Canson and other textured papers that are commonly available. I too really dislike the texture of most pastel and charcoal papers.
