Pastels can be used effectively on many types of paper ranging from watercolor paper to papers made especially for pastel work. Most have some kind of tooth or texture to allow the pastel to adhere to the paper. That texture can vary from barely perceptible to the heavily textured sanded boards. For a very soft effect allowing many layers of pastel velor paper or even textured suede board can be used as a base. Sanded paper allows for layering of pigments along with fine detail from harder pastels.
