Pastel Portrait Fees

"PASTEL is pure pigment... It is the most permanent of all media, when applied to conservation ground and properly framed. Pastel has no liquid binder that may cause other media to darken, fade, yellow, crack or blister with time. Pastels from the 16th century exist today, as fresh as the day they were painted." Quoted from the Pastel Society of America
