Portrait Drawings in Pastel Media
My portrait drawings may be done either in the three-color “trois crayons” technique, using sanguine red pastel, black and white, or in a fuller range of pastel pencil colors. They may be done on white or toned acid-free paper, or over a watercolor wash or other prepared surface.
