Painting on Pastel, Pastel portrait by Bogra art studio

Painting from photos has a lot of disadvantages, but also many good benefits! One of them is that you can always come back to the pictures that inspire you to work with them again...I thought, time ago that pastel does not give me enough darkness to make this kind of work, so I painted this portrait in Oil by then. But time has passed and I had the desire to paint this man again but in Pastel.
This is a big size Pastel portrait. It was made in one day work. I didn't paint a background. Just paid attention to the figure. The video is a little longer than usual but I did not know where to cut...
Hope you enjoy!

[@johaunZ]

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.

[@bograart]

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
