My ArtVenture: Pastel portrait “A girl“
Hello dear Steemians,
Once again I returned to my favorite subjects drawing portrait and especially face in ¾ rotation is my favorite, because you can created the shadow one one side using the light source from another. What I like in that is there are so many different colours in shadows my favorite is blue, actually it is not obvious but once I added blue to create the palette of my shadows and it just brought all colours to lighten up.

My favorite medium for portrait is Pastel, because I can mix them on my paper and if I do not like the result of colour mix I can erase it and start from beginning. Pastel has so huge variety of colours and all of them are so bright. That you can only reach with pure pigment.

Hi @stef1
You have a great talent, you draw everything
This picture is just beautiful
Feel that her gaze looks straight into my soul and will tell me something I do not know.
Thank you @xpilar and I am glad you like this work. I noticed that since I restart practicing Art again for now about a year my skills coming back and works getting better, it is a truth that practice makes the master :)
Such a wonderful portrait...love the colors and shades.
Thank you @theia7, it is always nice to hear from you and that took me few layers to create the shadow side, never thought that it would be more difficult than the light side of portrait. Therefore, it was nice to hear your thoughts :)
Such a beautiful and strong portrait painting, Steffi. Her expression is so fierce! Beautiful job.
Thank you very much for your compliment :)
Very nice. I wish I could do what you can do.
Thank you for your comment and it is my pleasure to hear that you like my work :)
Cool I like this art :)
Thank you @foxkoit, nice to hear that :)
you are welcome :)
Wonderful job on a beautiful portrait.
Thank you, nice to hear your thoughts and compliment :)
This portrait is absolutely gorgeous. The process pictures really flesh out your post and give a glimpse into your art we would be able to see without them. Looking forward to more of your work.
Thank you @official.dwr for your nice words. Since I started to capture the stages of my painting, that became a habit, also that gives me an idea in further works if I need to change something. Thank you for stopping by.
She's beautiful!
Such a great artwork!
Were you portraiting a live person when you did this work?
