Preparing for Sleep


This pastel painting was intended for me to practice drawing fur and also to try out velour paper. I'd like to say that I believe both were a success. The velour paper was perfectly suited to painting the soft fur of the wolf. In fact, I just started laying out another painting on "regular" paper and I don't like it nearly as much. Velour is much more expensive (about $6 for this one 19.5" x 27.5" sheet), but I'm thinking it's worth it!

The best choice for that would be William Turner paper from Hahnemuehle.

Thanks for the tip, I'll see if I can find some of that paper and check it out.
