"Marie"
Pencil Portrait on 100% Imported Archival Paper
This Pencil Portrait was
done from an old family snapshot taken around
the
1930's. Using archival artist's paper and pigments,
it is possible to do fairly
large
pencil reproductions of such photos which may be yellow,
cracked, or
otherwise
in serious disrepair. Having an old, cherished
family photo reproduced
in this
manner on rag paper can extend its life past many
generations -- it can
last
hundreds of years, much longer than a touched up photo
reproduction.
Pencil Portraits, when properly constructed by an experienced artist, can
last as long as oil paintings. 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
information on this topic. Please ask for material on the longevity of pastels and other paintings on paper.
