Experiments with Pastel Ground

"Destiny IV"
6 x 6" pastel on Gessobord over
Golden Ground for Pastels
Created some very interesting textures,
and the pastel went on more smoothly.

"Pale Rider"
8 x 8" pastel on canvas board over
Golden Ground for Pastels
Created a rough surface and ate up my soft pastels.
Still, a nice effect.
