Pastel Supports
Pastel supports need to provide a "tooth" for the pastel to adhere and hold the pigment in place. Supports include:
- laid paper (e.g. Ingres; Canson Mi Teintes)
- abrasive supports (e.g. with a surface of finely ground pumice or marble dust)

Famous quotes containing the word supports:
“They should not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end. How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living? Methinks this would exercise their minds as much as mathematics.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
