I bought some Uart 600 sanded paper at the IAPS convention. This is the first time using this surface and I will use it again. I usually paint on La Carte sanded paper, which come in toned colored. This paper is off white, so I had to take light strokes of pastel and create a wash using a brush and water.
This is a California Brown Pelican I painted for entry in the Foothills Art Assoc. Wildlife Show.
