Hi all,

Thought I would post a portrait that was done from an old black and white yearbook photo of my wife's grandfather. The photo is 8" x 10" and the pastel was done on a sheet of 20" x 16" Canson Mi-Tientes, steel grey paper. I used mostly NuPastels and Rembrandt pastels.

Because the photo was black and white, I had the most trouble trying to achieve proper skin tones and colors. The photo was also washed out somewhat from photo flash so there were not very good shadow areas. I'm not sure how good the colors or quality of this work will post here, but I will give it a try anyway.

I'd love to hear any feedback, or comments that anyone has to offer.
