So handsome, & Melody too & love your old lady with the blue eyes

Thanks Jenny Much appreciated

Your gallery is just stunning Sue. I particularly like your horses - so beautifully painted - I can almost feel the softness and warmth coming from them. Could you tell me a little about the W & N Artmedia paper. I have not come across this and can't find out where to buy some to try? Thanks.

Thank you Julia :o) Sorry the name of the paper was misspelt previously - it is Artemedia. This is from an old A3 pad of assorted colours I have at home. The paper is lightfast, acid free 170gsm. I have just checked the Winsor & Newton site and they seem to have discontinued this paper - the closest match I found was a 'universal' pastel paper which seems similar in that one side has a rougher surface than the other - but it is 160gsm and the colour range is more restricted (Artemedia had 35 shades to choose from). I must admit I rarely use the 'traditional' pastel papers now, I'm a convert to sanded surfaces - particularly Fisher 400.
