"I 've been arround the world", passtel on Pastelmat, 12x9"

After drawing my dad’s collection of coins I thought I should also draw some of his stamps. This is a small pastel, 12x9 inches and I must admit that I regret I did it that small. Too much detail to do with pastels. I used mostly pastel pencils. Soft pastel sticks only for the background and for highlights. Support Pastelmat. I hope you like it and I would appreciate any remarks. Once again
wishing you a happy, healthy and creative New Year!

Gorgeous as always Irene! The first thing that popped in my mind was how conducive the pastels were to this level of detail/resolution. In any case, again, it looks amazing. :heart:

Thank you so much Anthony. I am glad you like it, I value your opinion always. I must say that it was tricky this one. Too much sharpening LOL!! (Faber Castell - Pitt pastel pencil.)
