Forest - pastel on black toned paper, by Dale Ward

Forest - pastel on black toned paper.
Original plan was for this image to serve as under painting for more pastel layers. Took this photo prior to spraying with fixative. When I sprayed the image with fixative, the pastel dust more or less disappeared from the paper!
I guess it was finished :)
