2.0 out of 5 stars Good Paintings, but Little Instruction, July 31, 2006
By Alan Dale Daniel (St. George, UT, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The book has excellent paintings throughout; however, this is an instruction book and it fails in telling or showing the reader how to develop the painting in pastels. The first few steps are the foundation of any painting and in this area the book is inadequate. Their is some instruction in this area, but not enough.

The author also fails to show alternative ways to achieve the results desired. I like art instruction books that show more than one way to get to certain results but few do this. It is important, especially in books that are introductory in nature, to show more than one way to get to a result. Most art books fail to do this and this book is not an exception.

3.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Basic, April 4, 2005
The art work in this book is beautiful; she is a talented artist. She gives some good ideas however her book is too basic there are not any real step-by-step projects to put to practice what you learn in the book. I am looking for a book that give basic explantion and projects to work on.

5.0 out of 5 stars If your looking for a Pastel book, This is the one., November 7, 2005
In my travels between EU, USA and Argentina I have been looking for a book that would provide me with the basic pastel information, and this is the one. I have looked everywere and reviewed other books before I purchased. Anne Heywood has a great way of putting things in a way that help you imagine and understand and this is something that a lot of books lacked. I have read the review on Amazon.com noting that her book needs "step by step on how to", I would agree if this was a book that was meant to be a Basic Pastel learning with step by step, but it is not. I am hoping to find a step by step Pastel book from Anne Heywood, if anyone is aware of one by this artist, please post it, as in my office 5 personal (including myself) have purchased this book and would like to read and learn from her being she has a way of making you understand, not many people have this talent. I was on Amazon looking for Anne Heywood step by step, but as of today, nothing yet.
