Linda, I have fallen in love with Unison Colour pastels that are made in England, they are in between a Rembrandt and the real soft ones - Sennelier, Winsor & Newton. They fill the paper and do not scratch off as easily with extra layers. It's nice to do the softer ones on top of them. I only use my Rembrandts for some of their extreme colors or large backgrounds.

At first I loved the Mi-Teintes paper, because there was such a nice selection of colors and I could get them at Michael's. I do like the sanded paper better though - there is one called "Colorfix" sanded pastel which comes in colors (I have become more neutral grey) and is cost effective - then for a treat I love Wallis sanded. The last two I buy mail order.

Keep working!
