New work in progress # 2

This is how it looks transferred to the pastel paper. The image is now 16x21 inches on a 19.5x25.5 inch sheet of medium weight pastel paper similar to hanemule paper. It is done in a black pastel pencil. I'm particularly pleased that it already shows depth with a distinct foreground, middle ground and background. The shadow of the basket really helps to push the basket forward on the paper to give the necessary illusion of depth.
