Genuine pastel portrait artwork drawn for you
in Glasgow, Scotland UK

I can create professional portraits of people and pets for you using this wonderful medium that gives subtle blends and shading ideally suited to portrait work and for creating lasting memories from your special photo images.

pastel portraits are created using coloured pastel sticks like chalk onto premium pastel paper or board by a pastel portrait artist with many years experience working from clients photographs of people or pets

I have 2 popular sizes that I work to 12 by 16 inches and 20 by 16 inchesthat will give a good result from the pastel chalks.

please remember that pastels are fragile and need to be framed under glass for extra protection but once framed should last a lifetime.

I also create oil painting portraits on canvas and b&w pencil portraits why not check these out too !

pastel artist portraits from £195

roughly the method I use to create a pastel portrait drawing

I lightly sketch in the face details on my pastel paper then with my pallette of flesh colours of pastel chalk sticks
I roughly shade in all the main areas then I go over the drawing again refining the areas and blending the dry colours as I go adding more and more detail taking care with eyes nose mouth etc. until I get the finished result.
