PASTEL PAINTINGS
This week I thought to open a more specific themed thread: the pastel paintings.
An artwork made using pastels is called a pastel - pastel drawing or pastel painting.
There are different types of pastels - the dry pastels (hard, semi-soft, and soft) and the oil pastels. They have usually the form of a stick, composed by pure powdered pigment and a binder.
The technique of pastel have been used by artists since the Renaissance and gained considerable popularity in the 18th century, when a number of notable artists made it their primary medium.
Please post in this thread your works realized using this technique.
Post maximum 6 images per single post.
Use your alt tags to be seen and indexed by Google.
Mention if you wish a few words about your work, or if you sold them already, as print or original.
Here are some of my pastel paintings:
