10″x8″ pastel on sanded paper
This train is how most people get to Machu Pichu. We chose to do the 4 day Inka Trek instead. We had a great view of the train and the Urabamba River from our trail.

wonderful!
Very nice! How is the sanded paper? I’ve not tried it.
If you paint in pastels, I highly recommend sanded paper. I prefer 400-600 grit. I also like to use a paper that will allow an under painting, of pastel washed with denatured alcohol.
I haven’t painted with pastels in a long time. I miss them. Thanks for the info.
Uart paper is good, I also use wet dry sandpaper from the hardware store. If I am working 16×20 or larger, I use ampersand pastel board. Try sanded paper, you can layer 2-10 times more pastel than smooth paper. Good luck, and happy painting!
