Incredible work.

Would you mind sharing materials used (pastel pencils, softer pastels?) and the surface you worked on? Thanks.

Sergio,

Gorgeous. The color harmony is lovely, the gaze is compelling and painting is beautiful.

the technique...

Thank You Jimmie and Chris for the comments... The technique is simple: Canson Mi-Teinte paper with Faber Castel Pastel Pencils... Unfortunately however the digital reproduction on the screen does not gives us the slightly "magic" effect which we feel when we are in front of the picture...

Sergio,
Your attention to detail and great ability to bring it forth as something credible is very "Flemish" and brings to mind this school of painting. Congratulations. Very good work.

Carlos

I'm gawking too. This is stunning Sergio! Carlos is right. It is a rare treat to see such sensitive attention to detail realised in such a credible manner. Do you work under a magnifying glass? How razor sharp do you keep those pastel pencils? Your fine motor skills seem super-human. Welcome back, and thanks for sharing this.

Garth

Sergio, I find her eyes mesmerizing and I am amzed at your skill of rendering them so lifelike. The eyes remind me of Luis Royo's women's eyes, but I think you have even surpassed him.

By the way, Luis Royo does fantasy art, beauties and beasts in surreal settings.
