Revised photos of the Portrait of a Young Girl, Pastel,19"/24"
I remade the photos of the picture so here are some better version of it. As I mentioned the last time: it is a pastel of 19"/24", 3 months of work and my third pastel (was initially a preparation for an oil). The picture was selected as Top 30 recently at the PSOA 2005 show.

I'm speechless, this is amazing. I'm amazed at the detail in this portrait that you achieved with pastels. How did you do that?!

Welcome back, Sergio! I agree with Mary - this is incredible, with amazing detail. Is it really only 19" x 24", and don't you usually work very large? And not in pastel? This is a big style change for you, isn't it?

More details...
Thank You Mary and Linda for the encouragement...
The style change isn't really a big one...
To work on a smaller scale however is more difficult,
especially in pastel...
also here are some more details... the colors aren't really very truthful on the screen... in reality the picture is colder...

Incredible work.
Would you mind sharing materials used (pastel pencils, softer pastels?) and the surface you worked on? Thanks.

Sergio,
This has a silvery, luminous quality that does come through in the image. I know how frustrating it is to not be able to capture the quality of the original--my work never looks that good in reproductions no matter how hard I try--but I think this work has a powerful "magic" quality that shows up in the photos. It is a work that bears looking at more than once to really grasp all its subtleties. Beautiful!
Alex

Good Morning Tricia,
Saw your pastels and think there is a huge potential in them!
Hope Australia and the old masters gives you a lot of inspiration 
Sergio
as what for the details: it is a matter of patience and special food regime...
