Jenni, I agree that using Pastelbord means thinking about he background. That's an adjustment if you use Canson like I did before finding this. It does add some time to a portrait. I think you can still use it as a ground but I find actually putting in a background is nice as well. The only problem with that is you are locked into the entire background once you start. It's very hard to leave only some of the board showing. Still, as I have said I wouldn't work on anything else. Mary is right. The sand color is nice too. Judging from what you have done with this one, I think you mgiht have found the perfect surface for your beautiful work.
I think Ampersand should start paying me commission, don't you?
