Ken Pastel Portrait

I've spent some time lately working with Pastels and I have to say that they solve many issues that I have with painting.  I don't need to pre-mix colors, and colors are all consistent.  The downside of course is that there are only a handful of shades and values to work with in Pastel.

This is a portrait of one of my former students from my Portrait drawing class.
