I have just bought some new shades of Murano pastel fine art paper. It has a naturally textured surface and 45% cotton content to give it a classic, luxurious feel. The paper weighs 160gsm and I will be trialling this on some greyhound pastel paintings in the very near future. I have plenty of different shades of Unison soft pastels, which I use in conjunction with traditional graphite pencils, usually 2B or HB.........
