Well, I think it’s an excellent pastel portrait, despite the challenge. I’ve had the same problem with old paper too!

So obviously the talent runs in the family! I like the stark, almost graphic style, it's very dramatic and edgy, with great intensity in the gaze that holds the viewer.

30 cm x 28 cm. soft pastels & pastel pencils. Saffron had a lot of trouble with the pastel paper as the pastels wouldn’t stick and the paper became bobbly. It was probably because the paper was very old. In spite of the enormous challenge she tenaciously carried on.
