PASTEL PAINTING
A softer hyper realistic, dry medium painting, chosen for its muted soft tones
Soft details without the drying time
A beautiful medium for those who love to add their own personal flare with framing. Pastel pieces must be framed as they are a dry media that is etched into a sandpaper sheet that grips the powder.
This technique allows for fine detail without the long dry times that oils require. Archival pencils ensure your portraits colours stay vibrant and rich for a lifetime when kept in the proper environments.
