8×10 inch artwork done with Pastel pencils and Pan pastels on Pastelmat. This was not a commissioned portrait, but because I wanted to assess the suitability of Pastelmat for doing pet portraits. I have to say I’m definitely a convert – it was easy to achieve the nice soft look that velour gives, but the pastel stays put!!!
