4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for beginner.., July 12 2003

Earl Burdick (Pocatello, ID United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All About Techniques in Pastel (Hardcover)

I am an absolute beginner in pastels and have bought some books which I intend to review. This is a good one with lots of beautiful work and step by steps, The only thing that kept it from 5 stars is it is poorly organized and kind of jumps around.

5.0 out of 5 stars all inclusive, Feb 11 2003

Jason Mark Alster M.Sc "Millenium man" (Wethersfield , CT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All About Techniques in Pastel (Hardcover)

As far as a pastel technique book goes this one is all inclusive. It has the latest techniques including the mixing of pastel with other elements like water and alcohol and so on. Pastel line, color mixing, blending. The strong point of the book is that it gives an example of how to paint in pastel almost any subject like skies, rooftops, water, water in motion, vegetation, fruit, skin, portraits, fur, feathers, metal, drapery, and more. You name it. I did not see another book around that has so many different types of examples. I should know because I just published an art book myself --Creative Painting For The Young Artist. So this is a book I will now use in teaching my students.
