Paul Hardy shares the delights and beauty of working with a medium that is versatile, exciting and inspiring. This colourful, practical guide illustrates the techniques of applying pastel to a variety of paper surfaces, from field sketching and composing a painting to painting skies, trees, water and reflections. Step-by-step demonstrations show the reader how to paint a series of landscapes from a moody moorland pastoral scene to a gently flowing river, aglow with the warm colours of autumnal trees. The artist is rewarded as fields, trees and flowers spring to life when pastel is applied to paper.

This review is from: Landscapes in Pastel (Step-by-Step Leisure Arts) (Paperback)
I have many books on pastels, but this one by far is one of my favorites already. Very well illustrated. Takes you from basics to more advanced. Not sorry I purchased this one. Will use for many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A true step by step guide to pastels.,
By Jason Mark Alster M.Sc "Millenium man" (Wethersfield , CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Landscapes in Pastel (Step-by-Step Leisure Arts) (Paperback)
A simple step by step guide workbook that is really easy to follow. The author gives enough break downs of the steps to achieve a pastel painting exampled in the book so the novice can succeed at it with ease. For pure old fashioned pasteling ( not mixed media of today) Hardy gives a book that you know the artist enjoyed doing. Only for a beginner who likes landscapes and likes the examples n the book enough to use them for instruction. Creative Painting for the Young Artist
