Review by Library Journal Review

Written by a team of three experienced artists, this thorough guide exposes the reader to a variety of viewpoints, techniques, subjects, and tricks. It covers all the basics of this medium, including materials, color blending, mark making, texture, perspective, and composition. Photographs throughout show the authors' working processes, as well as many completed pieces. Readers can follow along with 13 step-by-step pastel painting projects to create landscapes, seascapes, city scenes, floral still lifes, and more. VERDICT Best for beginning and intermediate artists new to pastels. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
