Book Overview
UPDATED EDITION: Develop your own pastel painting style in this A-Z reference outlining a variety of techniques and materials--from soft pastels to oil pastels. Many pastel painting books take for granted the use of traditional soft pastels, a dry medium that provides the richness and variety of paint colors. Soft pastel is certainly the most versatile and widely used, but the modern range of materials include other pastel types that have their own specific purpose. In this exhaustive A-Z reference for artists of all skill levels, a variety of different pastel types are detailed, from oil through to water-soluble pastels, amongst the multitude of techniques broken down and easily explained. Start your pastel painting journal with step-by-step demonstrations that guide you through a variety of techniques, from basic color mixing to creating special effects such as sgraffito and sfumato. Next, apply your learnings to a number of different subjects, including natural landscapes, urban scenes, figures, animals and still life. Written by professional artist Judy Martin, this comprehensive encyclopedia is the ultimate resource for amateur and veterans looking to further develop their pastel painting skills

pastel art
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The book arrived in a timely fashion and in good condition. it is a real encyclopedia of pastel art. I wish I would have known about it a long time ago for it would have saved me money buying a number of books on pastel art which were not nearly as comprehensive. An excellent reference source for using any kind of pastels.
