"Making Coloured Backgrounds Work For You".  

"A dilemma often faced by pastelists, and not necessarily just the beginner, is the type and colour of paper to use. There are no set rules, and eventually you will discover the paper textures and colours that work best for your subject matter. Here I will tell you the benefits of choosing different colours and the techniques that can be used on different textured paper surfaces".
