I just posted this one also on the all media paint off page. PEZ has some fond memories for me. It is 9x6.75 on Wallis sanded paper. this is the first time I've used any kind of sanded paper and found it to be very different than using the canson mi-teintes. I almost didn't finish it because I was getting frustrated. I found that you really cant erase it, but you can cover up with another color. I didn't blend as much as I usually do, because when I used a tortillion, it rubbed the pastel off too much. I could blend with my fingers, but they are too fat I haven't decided if i like it or not yet. Any way, any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Justine,
This is very nice. Brings back memories. Man am I old.
I like the shading work and the candy looks
edible.

Jim, If PEZ makes you feel old, what does that make me?

Thank you violet. I tried using my kneaded eraser, but got smudges, I guess it's time for a new one, the one I have is years old and could be getting too dirty.

This is a very nice piece! I really like the highlights and the shadows.
