Lovely image, and yes, i agree about smooth paper. I use them a lot when life drawing, and use cheap smooth paper, and HP watercolour paper, gessoed mountboard works too if you sand it down slightly.

Wonderful colour and a good tip about the paper. Excellent work Frank.

This is so full sunshine and so uplifting Frank. Thanks for the tip on oil pastels, which I love to use. Have been using gessoes canvas boards but the tooth of the canvas can still be a problem so will take up your advice.

So bright and cheerful, a painting of sunshine.

Thanks everyone for commenting, Thalia, I can see why oil pastels on smooth paper would be good for life drawing, as you would be able to get coverage easily

I only use oil pastels occasionally and with this one, made a discovery - they work really well on smooth paper. For so long I have thought that paper with a tooth was needed for this medium. What's more is that coverage is better too. This done with Neopastel on smooth layout paper 50gsm, 6x6in.
