Pastel
Portraits need not be "pale", lacking depth of color, as many people think.
In
addition, they can last hundreds of years. When properly constructed
by an experienced
artist,
a pastel portrait can last as long as an oil painting. The works
of Degas are testimony
to
their durablility. With today's advances in archival materials, works
on paper can be
trusted
to endure for generations to come. We will be glad to mail you some
inforation on
this
topic. Please ask for material on the longevity of pastels and other
paintings on
paper.
