Many thanks for your lovely comments Bri, David & Carole. I messed up a bit as I forgot under painting first to avoid paper structure come through

Ah, I had the same problem with my Canson pastel paper, Manoj, until Marjorie (a painter on this site) advised me to try the other side, the smooth side. I haven't looked back since. I tend to paint with oils but pastel is also a favourite medium. Best of luck with it. Bri

This has impact Manoj. The silhouette of horse and rider is great too.
