Revised photos of the Portrait of a Young Girl, Pastel,19"/24"
I remade the photos of the picture so here are some better version of it. As I mentioned the last time: it is a pastel of 19"/24", 3 months of work and my third pastel (was initially a preparation for an oil). The picture was selected as Top 30 recently at the PSOA 2005 show.

I'm speechless, this is amazing. I'm amazed at the detail in this portrait that you achieved with pastels. How did you do that?!

Welcome back, Sergio! I agree with Mary - this is incredible, with amazing detail. Is it really only 19" x 24", and don't you usually work very large? And not in pastel? This is a big style change for you, isn't it?

More details...
Thank You Mary and Linda for the encouragement...
The style change isn't really a big one...
To work on a smaller scale however is more difficult,
especially in pastel...
also here are some more details... the colors aren't really very truthful on the screen... in reality the picture is colder...

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
