Be sure to subscribe to my channel so you'll never miss a video!

I'm comparing Canson Mi-Tientes Velvet Paper to Clairefontaine's Pastelmat by drawing an avocado in colored pencil. This demo is a small excerpt from a longer livestream video that took place within my private community.

You'll see the unique qualities of Velvet Paper, including blendability, erasing capabilities, and how it works with various pencils and solvent.
🔥 Spoiler alert: This paper works beautifully with solvents like Gamsol by Gamblin!!
