5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners, June 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Creative Painting with Pastel (Paperback)

I found this book provides a lot of information on the fundamental techniques that artists use when creating pastel works. It also covers quite a varying range of styles and subjects using all colour images. There are quite a few detailed breakdowns of how pastels are created from underpainting (or not) following right through a work to completion.

As someone new to using pastels I found this book to be most informative and interesting and a great addition to my technical library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book for learning the many kinds of pastels, May 19, 2001

This review is from: Creative Painting with Pastel (Paperback)

I found this book to be full of information about the different kinds of pastels that are available and the best paper to use when using pastels. It touched on the use of techniques in achieving whatever look you want.The pictures are beautiful!But as to whether by following the instructions you can get the same result is questionable. All and all a wonderful book to have but I think difficult for begginners who are just trying Pastels to follow.
