This is very, very old portrait, my attempt in dry pastel.

Amazing.

Jeff Harter said...

I'm a big fan of pastel. Very nice, Dorota!

Dorota said...

Thaanks Eddy and Jeff. I am not very good at this but I kind of like this medium.

No, you are very, very good! This is amazing Dorota. I like to contrast in color. The soft tones in the face go well with the vibrant red bg. You definitely have a unique use and great command of color.

Dorota said...

This means a lot to hear from the master of color himself. Thank you Eric.

Dorota this pastel sketch is masterful. I'd love to see more of this type of illustration from you. You are an amazing talent.

Dorota said...

Ryan- I was afraid of that too, but there is always some old stuff lying around. Thank you Ry and Vincee.

Vince M said...

Do you have any more pastel sketches like this, Dorota? This brings to mind images created by Dean Cornwell. So beautiful.

Dorota said...

I don't know who Dean Cornwell is. I must check. I have more of the old pastels lying around somewhere. Will find
