Pastel Portrait Painting - Already in ancient times high standing personalities had themselves preserved for posterity. Portrait painting originated in ancient, as many pictures in the pyramids of deceased show, but only in Greece this genre came to perfection.

What characterizes a good portrait painter? A portrait painter must be able to paint a person with all his important features. He must be able to depict exactly what is really visible. You cannot simply go and change a portraitee's features, because then the result would no longer be a portrait.
