RE: FABRIANO® - Tiziano pastel paper - Prato
The wrinkles on such a large sheet are a serious problem, it is completely understandable that this spoils the whole experience from the very beginning. And as for the difference in color, this is also quite annoying, especially when you rely on a specific tone for your composition. I would be interested to hear if you will find a more suitable application for it over time or if you will give it up completely :)
Thanks @sduttaskitchen
For now I will continue to paint on it since I wouldn't know for what else to use it. Let's say drafts. I contacted the teacher and according to her the paper is wrong. I should have a pack of the same brand with different colours. Need to search for it.
I made one today, pastel pencils included, but it isn't getting any better. Tomorrow I try a portrait not sure if it will be with the crayons or just the pencils.
Since the paper isn't nice a passepartout is also not in it. I doubt if it is good for acrylic paint. But who knows.
I think it's a good idea to use the draft paper instead of throwing it away. Otherwise, it's great that you're experimenting with different techniques. Try the portrait again without too many expectations, sometimes that's how the best things turn out :)
