Best Paper to use with Soft Pastels?
We are often asked which paper is the best to use for our soft pastels. I asked 3 of our Associate Artists for their opinion.

The Art Rooms
On the 19th January I was lucky enough to be one of the 70 selected artists chosen to exhibit at the international art fair in London run by Artrooms. I’ve spent the last 4 months of my life gearing myself up for this 1 weekend and I think I can safely say all the effort has paid off!
