Walking Pears Over

Finished version of the piece described below.

Lesson A: I like the application of the panpastels on the velour paper. But the paper on it's own is too bland and smooth.

So I have prepared a new support: I glued a piece of velour over a piece of rough Saint-Armand (which had been glued to a piece of illustration board). It'll have the tooth of velour but the texture of the Saint-Armand. (Detail on the difference between tooth and texture.) Will mess with that tomorrow!

Lesson B: The foreground reflections look cool. Might try for that again.
