Portrait of a Young Girl, Pastel,19"/24"

[Sergio Ostroverhy]

Hello Ngaire,

I use pastel pencils,
and sharp them with 3 different kind of cutter (cutter, razor, surgical knife),
and put the pastel pencils for the night in a dry place and before working into an Owen. Also for one minute of work I sharp around 3 or 4 pastel pencils. So before starting I sharp dozens of them.
