I had thought about contact paper because that frisket film is so expensive but was afraid of the adhesive. Either by leaving a residue or by pulling out the suede fibers. I will definitely give it a try though. :) Thanks so much Carol. I had thought about contact paper because that frisket film is so expensive but was afraid of the adhesive.

I experimented with several way to protect the surface and keep the areas I'm not working on clean.I finally ended up using plain old contact paper. There was no residue even after the contact paper was in contact with the velour surface for several weeks. I do a full size sketch, which I use for client approval for size and overall direction and then I use a light table or a window to cutout the image. I then try to work from the top down, to keep pastel dust from contaminating other areas. Try it with the surface you are using. Don't know if the liquid element of your medium would compromise the adhesive. Good luck hope this helps. Hi Mona,

I assumed there must be a product out there like that. When I did watercolor (long, long ago) I used a liquid frisket but was unaware of a paper version.

Such wonderful drawing skills to create such a lovely, noble horse face. I do not have any experience with this. But I have a CP book that talks about using the frisket paper to protect white space on regular paper when making a watercolor background. On forums, some people have not liked the effect of fixative on velour, but sorry, cannot remember why. I would be hesitant to use it on a velour, myself, though -- so irreversible. I will try to post to my blog later today. Camera still buried in unloaded car. Went to class for my possible new job yesterday and have been feeling ill ever since. Alot of sleeping going on here -- on my studio day! This is really looking beautiful to me, Mona. Such wonderful drawing skills to create such a lovely, noble horse face.
