Thank you, all. Yes, the paper is Canson's "Sand", which is gray with a pronounced warm green cast to it.

One of the things I have learned in this process is to complete the charcoal (at least 99%), and to use fixative BEFORE pulling out the highlights with the NuPastel. The fixative seems to cause the white to evaporate, so that it needs to be restated anyway.
