SOFT PASTEL/PORTRAITURE

             

Soft Pastel and charcoal portraiture have the same techniques of application.  The technique is done by smudging some special kinds of sable or synthetic brushes to achieve a very soft and vanishing tone.  Portraiture needs a very careful touch on details.  There is no need to rush.  The principle is to "vanish" and "fade" the edges or imaginary outlines.
