 Rating: - A Good How-ToThis would be a good reference book to add to your beginner's library. It covers many subjects, so it gives you an overview of many techniques associated with painting with pastels. It goes into principles of color, shading & perspective. There are many step by step illustrations. Included are lessons on landscapes, still life, cityscapes & portraiture and the illustrated methodology to go with them. Rating: - Beloved as much now as when I was a beginnerThis is my 2nd favorite book from a massive library of pastel books. LOL It's one you can learn from and still go back to again and again!

Rating: - Beginners start with this!This book is incredibly helpful with demonstrations, suggestions for colors, layering options, and beautiful illustrations with various styles shown. The only thing that would have been even more helpful to this book was a little more information about paper and pastel suppliers and the difference in quality between them. I'm still giving it 5 stars though! |
