Even the square hards, such as my Sakura Carre or the more common Nupastels.<BR/><BR/>I will add that the gallery pieces I saw were about 9" x 12" and the high key colors looked distinctly like Sennelier - such as the blues they have. I know that Diane Townsends are as pigmented, but anyway that was my impression at the time.<BR/><BR/>I would suggest the old school pastels that I mention above (medium soft), then Unison soft, then high sat. colors.<BR/><BR/>I do enjoy your pond works, too, Gesa. The compositions are yummy and not unlike the actual photos - which means you have found an awesome subject.<BR/><BR/>Remember he uses a certain paper, but I find that my Rives BFK heavy weight produces a good result.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-59798642756339342822009-01-06T06:27:00.000-08:002009-01-06T06:27:00.000-08:00Casey,I've been doing some reading in my Kahn book...Casey,<BR/>I've been doing some reading in my Kahn book and am amazed... again... I've gone through your numerous posts on WK (again) and wondered if you knew which pastels he uses? The reason I'm asking is that they must be a bit harder than my usual unisons, right? I am struck by the clear squiggly lines, which I'd struggle to achieve on a small format. <BR/>Besides the trees, I'm having a look at water reflection achieved in a dry medium and fairly abstract.<BR/>Thanks for the encouraging comment on my blog writing, today, too... That made me smile this morning :)Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-91413335733146531432008-08-11T12:55:00.000-07:002008-08-11T12:55:00.000-07:00Hello Casey.Greetings from the "the east coast" ak...Hello Casey.<BR/>Greetings from the "the east coast" aka-NYC.

Yes, there is much to be learned that way... can't wait :)Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-89462761344181015192008-03-24T12:18:00.000-07:002008-03-24T12:18:00.000-07:00That makes me chuckle, Robyn.
