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!

He is super cool! Love him!
Thank you!
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.
