SJames, there...Thank you for your comments ladies!<br /><br />SJames, there flock type texture of this paper is tricky to work with and you cannot blend the pastels like on other surfaces like sandpaper, for instance. The suede I use grabs and holds the pastel pretty well. I use mainly NuPastels, Rembrants and Carbothello/Faber Castel pencils but did notice some very soft pastels like Gioconda Toisson d'Or won't adhere as well. Spraying with workable fixative will help keep the pastel where it's suppose to.
