LuxArchival vs Pastelmat & Uart sanded paper - Comparison Test

[@heelerjustheeler879]

I really like all the wet media results on the Pastelmat. Super useful demo, thank you!

[@emilyerdbeere9210]

Lisa, this is one of the most useful tests I’ve aver seen. Thank you so much

I really love LuxArchival paper! Just bought more off Dakota Art Pastels since they have it on sale.

I can't help but see the face in the yellow ink at 14.23mins! An interesting comparison. Thank you.

I just have to go and look now lol!

[@AnimalArtbyLAW]

Haha! It's like the Queen's profile on postage stamps! And once you see it you cannot unsee it 😄

Thanks for a great look at the different papers. Not sure I Like how the lux grabbed the dust you were blowing away. Im assuming this would mean you would have to cover the entire page as you could never keep the background clean?

[@diannemayne2598]

Brilliant! Thank you!!!Amazing and thorough attention to detail as usual!

[@iloveoregon99]

Working with cp on the lux looks like pastel pencils. It looks beautiful, but I think I would need to get a hand vac for the dust! I’m looking forward to your tutorial on the luxe and powder blender, thanks for doing this!

Thanks for the great info! Also, you really had me in a ASMR zone with the sounds but mostly your voice. Side job? :)

Amazing how much the newer paper against pastelmat,how it takes the color so fast

[@613toot]

I have wanted to try the new paper and now i will,I thought pastelmat was the way to go and its still a good paper if you want to layer more slowly.

I read that you have to mount the UArt if you are using liquid because it will warp and won’t recover.

[@AnimalArtbyLAW]

I've never had thst problem but I've only used the 600 and 800 grits so cannot speak for all of the weights. I've added a lot if water go mine with no warping at all.

Thank you so much for these tests! This is definitely on my list of papers to try now. The LuxArchival seems to make the Polychromos white pencil useful! 😁 I can't believe how bright the white comes out on top of other layers - it's usually so translucent as to only be useful for blending. Very impressive! Are you able to achieve lighter layers of colour on the LuxArchival? It seems to grab lots pf pigment, but if you want less, can you achieve it? It seems like for the watercolours, you would want lighter layers to have more control and smoother transitions when you add water.

How does an eraser work on each?

[@carolclark5296]

I use pastel pencils and soft pastels. How is this paper for these?
