What's the difference between Pastel and Watercolour?
Watercolour Portrait
Pastel Portrait
Alfie and George's owners commissioned both a watercolour and a pastel of the same portrait for themselves and family members
its a great example of the two styles/sizes side by side
Pastel Portrait
Katharine's pastel portraits capture the finest details, a portrait that is timeless and a beautiful piece.
They take in the region of 20hrs+ to make. This time and dedication is reflected in the quality of the portrait. Pastel portraits are perfect special occasion gifts such as birthdays, weddings, anniversary's or to commemorate a lost loved pet.
