This review is from: Painting Landscapes & Figures in Pastel (Watson-Guptill Painting Library) (Paperback)
Has good help for a shorter book, but many newer, readily available books have much more info. I recommend getting a specific book on each of the subjects.

Not for the Freshman Artist,

This review is from: Painting Landscapes & Figures in Pastel (Watson-Guptill Painting Library) (Paperback)
A superb slim book, that will get you started nicely at low cost (the pastels are expensive enough, without dumping huge amounts on the book when you don't know if you'll really like them yet). Parramon comments on three different artists, showing a painting from each build up in stages, as well as giving a gallery from past and present. However, unlike airbrush books, all pastel books seem to assume you already know how to draw, you just need to expand into pastels.
5.0 out of 5 stars
