Toned printmaking paper?
Jonathan W Hendry
the American editions of the 'Harry Potter' books. The
book says they were done by Mary GrandPre, in pastels,
on 'toned printmaking paper'.
What *is* toned printmaking paper, and why would one
use pastels on it?
Thanks,
Jon

My interpretation would be that the paper was 'colored'
and the reason for using it is because the paper
suited that artist's particular working style. Any
paper that has 'tooth' will usually work well for
pastel work and a 'toned' paper is a designer choice.
An option if you will to using plain white paper.

Ah, thanks. That makes sense, as it's a rather dark
image. I suppose using colored paper would reduce the
amount of pastels used; no need to use them up covering
every spot of white.
I had thought perhaps 'toned' referred to some kind of
processing or some such.

I would agree. I've used toned paper, such as Canson Mi-Tientes, for
b/w conte crayon drawings and it's an interesting process. The colored
paper (I like earth tones best) can help resolve foreground/background
issues quickly and, besides lending some overall warmth to the drawing
via the color of the background, you can let the paper be visible in
areas within the drawing as well. This last sort of gives you a third
color in addition to black and white.
