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:
“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
