When working with pastels, I use various types of surfaces such as Canson universal sketchbook paper, Canson Mi-Teintes paper, Wallis Sanded Pastel Papers and Ampersand pastelbord, all mostly white.The soft pastels I use are from Sennelier, Unison, and Diane Townsend. I use very little fixative if any on my pastel paintings, preferring to roll the finished pastel with a hard rubber brayer and newsprint to take up any excess pastel dust.
Quote from Robert Henri, "The most vital things in the look of a landscape endure only for a moment. Work should be done from memory; memory of that vital moment".

Nice painting, Jack! The colors in the sky set off your trees quite nicely.
I love these rich colors, Jack, and the moodiness of all your work.
Mysterious...what is lurking in that dense forest?
Thanks for the insight regarding your process and the Henri quote!
Absolutely love this sky!! Another great landscape taken to its basics.
