That's beautiful, Mary. The flesh tones are especially good and you can see how soft the child's skin is. His expression is wonderfully rendered, too.

Question: How do you achieve the fine lines and details with pastels? Are you using sticks or pencils? I've been playing with plein air recently and wondering how this effect is achieved in portraits. Yours are so well done.
