I made a smaller version of this about a year ago and it sold at one of the galleries who display my work. My wife loved it so painted a larger version for her as a Christmas gift 🎅🏻

Yes! It is very similar to fine grit sand paper from the hardware store, but it’s made special for pastels so the pigments and dust stick to the paper. I also sometimes add rock tumbler grit to acrylic paint and paint over wood panels to achieve a similar surface.

Excellent guess!

Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻
