William
 

This is William. Pastel on Canson board. 16 x 20.

Very sweet and classical looking. Reminds me of a few great Kinstlers that come to mind.

Pastel used well and wonderful.

Joseph,

This is beautiful! I like your sensitive and accurate characterization. His look is intelligent and appraising, as if he is scanning the distant horizon. All he needs is a cowboy hat :) !

Thanks Debra and Alex. I switched the picture with better quality and some close ups. Cheers.

I love his luminous skintones. Which brand of pastels did you use?

William is a sweet and appealing portrait, Josef. I too like the sideward intelligent gaze ahead, the glow and fall-off of the light, and the crisp precision in his features.

Beautiful, delicate, sweet and sutile :thumbsup:

Nice tones and forms Josef - what a beautiful little boy. Relative, or commission? Either way, a treasure for his mama.

I really like this, very solidly done. Very nice piece.

Nicely done Josef! Especially like the close-ups. You've captured the delicate features & softness of kids' skin at that age.
