Haven't used any paper in this lot yet, but have used it in the past. I'm sure it is equally as wonderful.

"Pastel Premier Pads & Packs."
I find Pastel Premier works well for my style of work with pastels. I've used alcohol to blend backgrounds and am able to apply layers well. I've even brushed pastel off when I've made mistakes and it takes new layers without problems.
I've gotten the used the Italian clay often but wanted a darker background for nocturnals. The slate is a dark gray which is a bit lighter than I hoped, but it's working fine.

"Fabulous for figures in wild colors"
I’ve been working with pastel pencils in figure and portrait sessions weekly. Slate Pastel Premier paper contrasts with the colors vividly! I almost feel like I’m cheating when I tuck flashes of blue and purple or a sizzling green into the earth toned humans forms… almost like adding neon… but subliminally. I have used the pencils dry only so far. Fun product!
