  1. I just used the new Unison pastel paper and was fascinated with how many layers it takes. I did a watercolor underpainting first. About how many layers will the paper allow for? Can you use fixative on it? Can you use an alcohol wash instead of water. What other mediums can you use on it besides water color, gouache, pastel? Can you use oil pastel and oil paints and would it be able to handle Gamsol solvent. I would love to see more demos, blogs on this paper.
    Thank you,
