I had high hopes for this paper since I love the available colors but it doesn't work for me. I don't like the way soft pastels look and "behave" on Colourfix paper. The pastel seems to clump. Plus, the paper tends to get wavy and warped. I feel that Colourfix should be using a heavier paper stock.

First order on this Colorfix warm tone sample pack and I am so pleased, I think I will order the cool pack too. I have been a fan of the Colorfix pastel grounds painted on watercolor paper for a long time but this offer was too good to pass up. I loved the variety of colors and the size was not too large to experiment with. I teach and when I showed my students their enthusiasm told me I had a great product in my hand. Great value. As soon as I get a picture done I will post it.

I am a colored-pencil artist, and the Art Spectrum paper adds a new dimension to my work. I like the rough texture, which makes the colored pencils look like pastels. I also like the choice of many different colors.

A light sanding with a green kitchen scrubber is all that's needed to paint on this paper..it lends a wonderful quality to gouaches and mixed media.

I find the surface to be great for oil pastel, which I use with some mineral spirits as solvent, and it holds up to those materials well. The colors of the prepared surface are really rich--excellent color selection.

I learned to do pastel landscapes in Santa Fe with these sheets and loved how the various colors changed the mood, both of the subject and of the artist.

I was looking for pastel chalk portrait drawing board. This was said to take on more color over and over without a fix. I find it to be like drawing on sand paper. yes, you get to go over your work, but since it is so gritty, you cannot make any extra fine lines. So i am attempting to spray set and re-spray many times to fill in the rough grit, so that my final cover will allow me to put in fine details. I wanted 1/6" absolutly SMOOTH board that will accept chalk well with covering and not being able to see thru the chalk. maybe you have some hard colored board for portraits, that has a smooth finish. thanks.
