Access info
You will receive a clickable pdf file when you purchase. The links in the pdf will take you to the 2 videos on youtube and also a link to the reference photo. The colour choices are discussed in video 1. I painted on pastelmat paper but ideally any pastel paper that has a good tooth and takes layers will work. If you use the 'wet technique' please ensure that your paper can take it. Find out more here at Jacksons Art on pastel paper
