Very Beginnings for very beginners,
By Anthony O'Krongly (Arlington, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Pastels (DK Art School) (Paperback)
This book helped me know what I needed to get started. I like his use of classics in pastel to illustrate the beauty and range of the medium. Excellent tips for beginners from what you need, to creating your own paper for pastel work. It also give good information on how to decide what type of pastels to use - by showing different types in action.
