I finished the drawing of the dog on this paper.

My final thoughts about using it with coloured pencils are mixed. I tried pastel pencils and it's extremely good, which is great since that is what it was designed for!
I found while doing this drawing that it performs quite well with soft coloured pencils, such as Caran D'Ache Luminance, Holbein, and various Derwent pencils, but wasn't so good with the harder brands such as Faber-Castell Polychromos and Pablos pencils.
The harder pencils didn't lay down as well as the softer ones and it took a lot of work to get the paper covered. Pastelmat works well with all the pencil brands I've used, soft and hard,including Verithin too, probably the hardest of all.
On balance I think I prefer Pastelmat, and will have to accept the surface artifacts that seem to have appeared over time.
