Sweet Bryony Pastels

This striking pastel portrait captures a young woman in a moment of quiet contemplation, her eyes cast downward with a gentle, serene expression. The artist demonstrates exceptional skill in rendering luminous skin tones, building up layers of warm pinks, corals, and subtle shadows to create dimensional, lifelike features. Her flowing hair is rendered in rich, expressive strokes of brown, gold, and burgundy that frame her face beautifully. A crown of bright red bryony berries adorns her head, adding a festive, natural element to the composition. The artist's confident use of pastel creates both soft blending in the facial features and bold, textured strokes in the hair and clothing, showcasing the versatility of the medium.
