SOFT PASTEL

Without a doubt my favourite technique and the result of which I always love.

Dry pastel is a technique that fascinates me and that I often use in my portraits of pets and animals. Its versatility and the richness of colours it offers allow me to capture the essence of each living being.

With each stroke, I can capture the texture of the fur and the nuances of the eyes, achieving a representation that almost seems to come to life. I love how the dry pastel fades and blends, creating soft shadows and bright highlights that give depth to each work. Also, the process of creating with this technique is so rewarding; watching each detail unfold and the portrait take shape is definitely a fundamental part of my art.

Certainly, if you would like a portrait of your pet or a landscape, pastel is the method I would choose.

ARTISTIC TECHNIQUES

I explore various techniques to create unique portraits and drawings that capture the essence of each subject. Take a look and choose the one you like best for your portrait.

GRAPHITE

Pencil portraits are classic and timeless. The use of graphite allows to create a play of shadows and lights that bring a great depth to the portrait, maintaining a subtle and elegant style. It is ideal for those who are looking for something sober but full of detail.


ACRYLIC

For those who are looking for something vibrant and with a modern touch, acrylic is an excellent choice. This technique allows for intense colours and sharp strokes, giving the portrait a dynamic and energetic look. Perfect for those who want something bold and full of life.
