Portraits in pastel have become my speciality and are the most popular choice. Pastels are dry sticks of pigment blended with chalk and china clay. I use fine pastel pencils on sanded paper to achieve realistic, delicate detail. The result is soft, rich colour with a velvety finish. Due to the level of realism, I will only paint pastel portraits of sitters whom I have met and photographed myself (this is included in the fee but may be subject to additional travel charge if outside Leics).
