Recently I completed a 12x16 pastel portrait of Sophia, shown framed above. This is my fifth time using pastels, and I've decided that I really like the medium for rendering children. The only drawback, in my opinion, is all of the dust it creates (I wear a mask while working), and the need to frame the piece behind glass. This piece is framed with museum glass, which minimizes reflection and helps to protect against UV light.
Insight into the fine art and portraiture of Holly Bedrosian.

This is really lovely, Holly. You have a very nice touch with pastels, and have really captured an engaging tenderness in this piecee.
beautiful portrait...
drawing children is successful when you achieve the innocence like this...
congratulations...
Hi Holly. I agree that the pastels lend a nice softness that is a complement to the child's innocence. Beautiful piece once again. I love your frame choice as well.
Captured her innocence - quite lovely.
As a pastelist, can relate to the dust.
Gorgeous painting Holly. You are as adept in pastels as you are in oils.
Congratulations Holly, this is a wonderful piece. Her expression is perfect and it has been perfectly rendered!
What a wonderful portrait, full of grace!
