Hi people, I don't have access to online buying power because I don't have a credit card - but I live in the San Francisco Bay Area - how hard can this be? Are there any chains that carry it? Other supply stores? Michaels didn't know what I was talking about - and it wasn't at any of the other local places I went to. Help please!

I think maybe you got your words mixed up. It may be that you want Velum paper. Michaels should know that one. Most art stores carry it.

I know EXACTLY what velour paper is. It has a WONDERFUL texture for pastels, charcoal and conte crayon drawings. It is NOT the same thing as vellum.
I am surprised Michaeas does not carry it. However, most art teachers require students to get some for a few projects, so, you may try the local college bookstores and University Art. In the city, you'll find one at 128 Spear st. South of Market near Mission. If you are not IN San Francisco, look in the phone book. There is one in San Jose, and, I'm sure, at other locations in the South Bay.
