Thanks!

Thank you 🙂

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 🙏🏻

Thanks for the pro tip!

Ahhh the good old days

I love your machines. Discovered them through the process of painting this piece. 🤓 my wife says there is one at the Boston MFA which we visit pretty regularly so I need to check it out next time I’m there.

Very cool! There’s a company @artomat.bsky.social that does it too!

Me too. Every Chinese food restaurant lobby in New England had one.

I too loved a juke box. My high school cafeteria had one and “Burning Down the House” by the Talking Heads was often played on repeat.

However… this woman is paying for a different vice other than rock and roll…

Thank you 🙂
