| "Mlle. Pinchon's Dolls" Pastel on rag oard © 1983 Miriam A. Kilmer |
"Mlle. Pinchon's Dolls" is available for sale at $800.00 plus the actual cost of shipping and $5.00 handling. (Email me with your address and I will let you know the shipping cost.) It is 19" x 15.5", matted and framed to 22" by 25" under Denglas® in a decorative gilt wood frame. I created this painting using a variety of hand-selected, light-fast soft pastels on sanded rag board. Sanding rag-board to a uniform surface is very labor-intensive. I now use Wallis® Sanded Paper instead. Soft pastels and Wallis® Sanded Paper are available from Blick Art Materials. Under "departments", choose "pastels", then "soft pastels" or "Soft Pastel Sets." Look in the product descriptions for words such as "archival," "light-fast," and "resistant to fading." Some pigments are toxic, so please be careful. Search for "Wallis" to find Wallis® Sanded Paper.
