Plein Air Thursday group was held at the Senior Center this week. Part of our focus was on making pastel paper. I brought in the supplies and we had lots of fun making different color paper.
Supplies:
140 lb. Watercolor paper that is HEAT set
Colorfix Primer, fine tooth, made by Art Spectrum ( comes in a variety of colors)
a sponge rooler
paper plate
We spread out newspaper and cut the watercolor paper into quarters, then poured the primer on to the paper plate, assisted by Fred and Tri-athlete Pricilla who opened the bottles that had been dried on. Evidently the previous user didn't wash the covers after using...bad me! We then rolled on the Colorfix Primer ( we used Terracotta, Storm Blue, and Aubergine) I had previously make some Deep Ultra which is a bright royal blue. Then we waited for it to dry (10-15 min.) It was that easy, See the pic below.
