    @@CathyMevik. Hi Cathy. I've looked at the canvas and it really has something special about it. A great three dimensional effect as a result of several contrasts in tonal quality. Very good linework... and I love the white marks which work so well. Personally I think that you would need to go very carefully if you feel you should do more with this painting because it is so good at this stage. For me I would leave it. But it's your artwork and the choice is yours. Colin. :)

    Thank you Lyndie. ❤ I don't like the texture or thickness of watercolor paper, so my journals have rather poor quailty paper. Most of them have 130 and 140 gsm paper. As long as I use gesso on the pages before I start painting, I have no problems at all. You really just need to try different papers and see what you like yourself. At least that's what I had to do.

    Salut Pascal, j'utilise des acryliques. Les pastels sont secs. J'utilise également des pastels à l'huile, mais je ne les applique qu'en dernière couche, car vous ne pouvez pas les peindre avec de la peinture acrylique. J'espère que cela t'aides.

    Hi Gila. As a beginner you might not know what you like and don't like, so if you are unsure, just by some loose pastels. I would go for the high quality ones, and build my supplies if it turns out you like them.
