I drew this little piece with my class last week. I have them working on gray Pastelboard. However, I didn't have enough Pastelboard so I made my own little experimental ground.

The surface is more textured than the Pastelboard but worked well enough for me to demonstrate the process to the class. I'm going to frame it and stand it on a small easel for the holidays!

Gorgeous! Thanks for the mini tutorial on making your own support... I may try that when I'm feeling adventurous!

BTW..how long did it take for the Colourfix/gesso combination to dry on such a small piece of hardboard?
