Surfaces and supports - sandpaper

I find artist's quality sandpaper very nice to work with, as long as I don't try to blend with my fingers...
It has a rough surface that pigments adhere to quite well.
It works well with PanPastels, specially if you use the SofftTools that come with them.
This painting or Reader's Rock Garden was done on sandpaper using PanPastels and hard pastels.
Artist's quality sandpaper is not found at your local hardware store, but in your Art Supply stores. It is acid free and of archival quality. Private collection.
