Your work is amazing and beautiful. I’m going to watch this video over and over. Can you share with us what paper you like to work on and what pastel brands you prefer for portraits? Thank you for posting your video.
Ive been studying portraiture for about a year now, mostly charcoal and chalk. Im working on moving to oils, but pastel has always fascinated me, even as a child.Watching your work is spell binding. Ive learned so much from watching you, and others like julio puentes. Thank you so much for sharing, and your technique fascinating to watch and your quality and eye for color, light and shadow is astounding.
Thank you so much JohaunZ, I really appreciate. it is so difficult to punt into words what I do step by step. But I believe I have achieved some way to explain it in two posts I have on my blog. Hope you will find some interesting tips there, following the link below; www.portraitonpastel.com/en/blog.htm Thank you again for following... Bogra
Thank you Vic, This is a good compliment! I am so happy to read some of the comments...It is not easy for me to expose myself. I am my worst critic. Best, Bogra.
Love all your pastels. I would love to come across a video of yours explaining all the techniques you are using while your doing the pastel. I loved all your artwork you have uploaded to here. Makes me want to get my set out and have another attempt at the portraits of my kids.
Thank you for sharing your gift! I have learned so much from watching your videos!!! Also, I really like how your videos are done. You truly have inspired me and gave me the confidence to expand my art. B
Hay I just recently found your chanel and I love your portraits, I wish that one day I'm able to be as good as you and draw little details and have the right shape of the things I'm trying to draw. Have a good day and I wish you good fortune
Thank you Mx. I am sure that if you work hard and draw a lot you will get it... A big percentage of good results is work and practice. Good fortune to you too!! Bogra
I really liked this technique, I've been watching your videos for some time and your patience and talent are fantastic, your style conveys serenity. And when I see his works, only the following phrase comes to mind: "Contemplation is the rest of thought."
I love your work at the halfway stage. So painterly. Right up my street Graciela, just delicious work. Thanx for taking the time to post and educate us.
Graciela I love your drawings and have learned so much from watching you. I just did my first portrait in pastel inspired by your style. I was wondering if you would share how you protect and ship the drawings. Thanks!
You said “I am my worst critic”. I know exactly what you mean! My problem too. Your work is fabulous. Painterly realism at it’s very best. Major envy of your pastel collection btw. 😛
Thank you so much for the support Beverly, Take a look at my blog, you will find some interesting content too. www.portraitonpastel.com/en/blog.htm Graciela.
Một tài năng hiếm thấy trong làng vẽ chân dung, sử dụng bằng tay trái, kỹ năng tuyệt vời. Bạn nên có bài phổ biến kiến thức về sử dụng màu sáp cho mọi người nữa thì tốt hơn.
Hello Paul, I don´t have "main colors" but a big palette, and since each portrait is different, it requires different approach..and colors. Regards, Graciela.

Gracias Manuel,
Estamos en ello...(Lo de "Nena" no me convence...pero entiendo el tono)
Un saludo, Bogra
Disculpa Graciela, Tengo una prima hermana que se llama Graciela. Chela o Nena son sobre nombres demonstrando affeccion a ella. QDTB.
Me consta. "Chela" me gusta mas... :)

Omg, I totally love this.

This is amazing! I especially love how you incorporated so many colors to deliver the subtle changes of human skin!
This is not amazing. It is completely drawn. This is paint by numbers. Not the way to do it. Sorry
Một tài năng hiếm thấy trong làng vẽ chân dung, sử dụng bằng tay trái, kỹ năng tuyệt vời. Bạn nên có bài phổ biến kiến thức về sử dụng màu sáp cho mọi người nữa thì tốt hơn.
Bravo. I adore your Art. Please could you indicate your main Colors when you paint a portrait?
Hello Paul,
I don´t have "main colors" but a big palette, and since each portrait is different, it requires different approach..and colors.

Wooooow 😍😍😍thank you
Great job! Not always the easiest job when having to work with a crappy reference photo.
Excellente bravo!!
Wonderful artist!
