Pastel portrait painting by Bogra, 29x43 inch. Working with Mamut pastels on Canson paper 

I've been a fan of your work for 5 years and I'm always amazed at how stunning your works are! 💕 You inspired me to improve my art. Thank you for sharing your lovely work with us.

So beautiful It's a lot of emotion on your work

Wow 40 minutes... lovely 😊

Plus de 07 ans déjà que je vous suis, vous êtes une formidable artiste, et l'une des meilleurs pastelliste que je connais. Prenez soins de vous et grand merci de partager votre maîtrise de ce matériel avec nous.

Your work is amazing! I just realized you’re left handed !! Now that’s awesome! I’m also left handed and an artist as well! Yesss!! 😁

We missed you. It's been a while. Thank you.

Hello Graciella, and welcome back to your online studio! have been following your exquisite portraiture for many years, since you first started to do utube videos. I admire your skill and love to watch you work. I especially enjoy your decisive strokes and the way your hand moves with the flare of a music conductor! I wish my arthritic fingers could still be so accurate! I was sorry to learn you had been unwell. Life brings us all challenges, and I hope that seeing you create this awesome full-length portrait indicates that you are doing better and enjoying your art. I find that when I am creating, and absorbed in my work, I have no room in my mind for negative thoughts. I wish you good health and days filled with beauty.

I missed you! Glad you are back!

Wowww que manos de esta Artista me dejo con la boca abierta y le envidio por ese talento un saludo desde Honduras

Glad to see you back! I hope you are well! Thanks so much for the video! It's perfect!

Very, very excellent, artistic, beautiful and informative.

So pleased to have you back!😍 🥰 Love your artworks, Graciela! GOD Bless! Much 💓 from Malaysia!

Missed you on RU-vid, so happy you’re back. Thanks for sharing your talents!

Przepiekny portret, podziwiam Pani talent.

Omg I'm so happy to see you, the way I gasp just seeing you make art again! 7yrs ago your videos have honestly made me feel better and gave me the courage to pursue an art course at the university of my dreams. I don't have the skills yet at the time but your channel was the one thing that helped me improve. I'd play your videos while practicing and just watch when I needed inspiration. Fast forward I've graduated with flying colors, not so much into fine art now as I've pursued a different art niche but gosh the happiness and motivation you've given have stayed with me all these years. No pressure in posting consistently, just want you to know someone really appreciates the work and passion you do. God bless and I hope to see more in the future 💕💕

So beautiful and inspiring! Thank you Graciela, I enjoyed watching!

J'aime beaucoup cette vidéo! C'est un véritable plaisir de vous voir travailler et d'entendre le frottement du pastel sur le papier, tellement relaxant!

You are so amazing. Love watching you paint. You are such an inspiration for me. It is an incredible gift you have. I appreciate that you share your talents. I get so inspired by your work. Thank you. Because of you I painted my grandson and was so happy when it turned out so well and looked like him! I sent it framed to my daughter in law. She was thrilled. I told her about your inspiring videos and how much it has helped me. I will always be grateful for your sharing.

Magnifique Graciela, merci pour la vidéo je suis très contente de suivre à nouveau votre travail 🤩🤩🤩🤩👏

IT is highly appreciated that you have given full focus on complite painting work very deeply and not making focus on professionalism.. you are genuine mam heartily thanks I learnt much more from this video thanks a lot again

I've been watching you for years also and this is my favorite video of yours, by far. You have a unique, wonderful technique with skin tones and your freehand drawing is so very skilled. Don't worry about the videos being too long, we can speed up the playback, if desired. I really appreciate watching all the steps and detail of your process, how you apply color and blend. I think you are the artist who inspired me to try pastel 4-5 years ago and I love the medium. Thanks so much!

great work truly inspiriting.

I love the pastels you use.

Wow,finally you're back,It's nice to see your artwork again,I love all your works

GRACIELAAAAAA!!!!!!! AWESOME TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!! ,don't leave us alone for so long. how is your health, i hope fine. take care please. greetings from MExico City :) it's good to have you again

Thanks for sharing.Can you share the paper brand?It seems so smooth~ So such joy to watch you work!

I obviously know left handed people exist. But, when I watch them do things that are very detailed, with their left hand, it feels foreign to me. I suppose it is because I am so bad with my left hand. I am a painter and struggle to use my left for anything useful. I guess just one of those things because I am use to being right handed and being around mostly right handed people. It's probably tough to be a lefty. Since everything is made for right handed folks. These portraits are absolutely beautiful.

❤

Dejé todo lo que estaba haciendo para venir a mirar tu video! Saludos ❤️

Graciela, I just found your amazing videos. I don’t need to tell you that you are a huge talent. I am grateful for your work, as I have very recently begun to learn how to do portraiture. I am primarily a landscape dabbler. I work in both pastel and watercolor, but will never be able to attain this level of expertise. Do you choose your colors ahead of time? Or do you adjust to the moment?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Absolutely fabulous!! Which pastel pencils work well with the mamuts?

What a sight for sore eyes! Great to see you back, as a left handed artist as well, how do you not smudge the drawing with the side of your hand????

Stunning artwork, very inspiring! Thank you for sharing. ❤ How many hours do you work on it?

Just amazing. I could watch you all day. Do hope one day you will give some pastel art classes on-line. Can't believe this is on Canson paper. I use sanded papers as Canson always turns out to be a disaster for me. May I ask what was the red pencil you used around the eyes? Thank you so much for sharing. You are such an inspiration.

Graciela im from ph idol kita great artist

Excellent!!! What type of paper?

Hi! I m watching with a lots of interest. Amazing work as usual! I would like to know what kind of product are you using at minute 6:09 working on the boy’s eyes. It seems to be a brown hard pastel mine in a mechanical pencil… what kind of mine is it?

Hello you are extremely talented, I’m very new to this could you tell me please if you are using oil or chalk pastels ? Thank you❤

Are these oil pastels? And thank u for all the wonderful vids!!!

Bonjour J'adore votre travail. Je me suis essayé à vos peintures. S il vous plaît, où achetez-vous le papier canson ? Merci Gracias

🙂 ρяσмσѕм

I've just started to fallow you. I am a venezuelan retired school teacher(60 yrs old) suffering from postraumátic stress (you know depression and anxiety). I'd like to learn from you. Please help me to achieve that objective, at my age ...

The work is beautiful, but unfortunately the boy is not similar. His eyes and mouth have a different shape.

I give up.

I guess some people aren't happy with a photograph lol, rather have someone Draw the photograph lol!

awesome

Браво! Супер!
