I love the fact that you mention that these papers are “kind to your fingertips.” I tend to use my fingers a lot, which many of my friends do not. Since rubber gloves just annoy me and I don’t tend to use tools unless I have a specific reason to do so, it’s important to me to keep the skin on my fingertips. Added to which I am a type 1 diabetic so I need to do finger stick blood tests at least 4 times every day, it’s a good thing to keep at least some skin on those fingertips.

Thank you for the valuable info on the two papers. It was difficult, deciding, to order Valaur or the Pastelmat. I finally decided on the Pastelmat, I . I hope I've made the richt decisiion! 💕

I never knew that about photographing the velour. Not that I have used it yet as I work more broadly and impressionistic so gravitated to the rougher sanded papers. I’m curious to try now. The prices have doubled since your video. It’s quite an expensive medium now.

DickBlick said the Haunable Velour boards are being discontinued so I ordered two to try them.

I struggle with the darker velour colours as when i want to do a cats white chest the dark fibres keep coming thru and it needs many layers then i lose the form?

[annelloydholden]

Very interesting. I love the pastel mat but would love to try the Valour. What brand do you use? Thank you!

[leftyfourguns]

Wow that’s a noticeable difference between the scanned and photographed paintings. Maybe you could do a video on that topic sometime

[robmart]

I think I see Pastel pencils in the drawer of your easel. Do you have to worry about grooves showing up in your work with either paper?

and good budget pastel pencils and sticks in one

As an amateur, I feel velour paper is fighting back against my pastel strokes and it feels in my small hands quite soon. For me pastelmat is easier to work with.
