I was in AP Fitzpatrick and saw they were selling off their stock of Art Spectrum Colourfix pastel paper at £1.00 plus VAT a sheet. I bought a couple of sheets to try and liked it so much I went back the following week and bought their entire remaining stock! At that time the full price of the paper was £4.00 a sheet, now it is more like £6.00. I would be inhibited trying to draw on a paper that cost that much but at a quarter of the price I felt free.
This life study of Laura is one of the first drawings I did on this paper.
I made this drawing at the Croydon Life Drawing Group. To find out more about the group please click here.
