Product Description
Infuse your paintings with light and life!
Whether you work outdoors or indoors, understanding the effects of light and shadow is key to making your art lifelike and engaging. Rather than providing a one-size-fits-all recipe for painting light, this book shows you how to capture the particular ambient qualities of any scene before you, be it a gloriously clear morning, a rainy afternoon, or the joyful dance of sunlight on water.
- Master pastel artist Maggie Price shares techniques for painting beautiful light, rich shadows and convincing reflections.
- 10 step-by-step demonstrations tackle a diversity of lighting situations, encompassing various weather conditions and times of day.
- Five contributing artists explore different styles, approaches and subjects, including landscapes, water scenes and people.
- Concepts are demonstrated with pastel but are applicable to any medium.
An illuminating read for beginning and experienced artists alike, this book will help you engage your viewer by achieving that captivating sense of "being there."

This review is from: Painting Sunlight and Shadow with Pastels: Essential Techniques for Brilliant Effects (Paperback)
When you are an artist, you tend to collect a lot of books on the " how to's " and many of them end up on the bookshelf and not being used. This one is a total exception! She has some wonderful techniques for painting sunlight and shadows and she is easy to follow. She goes step by step and has some great demonstrations. I use this book all the time because I tend to forget stuff, so I grab her book and can easily look it up. Well worth the price!!

Painting Sunlight and Shadow with Pastels: Essential Techniques for Brilliant EffectsI love this book!
It goes through the basics. It covers shadows and lighting in every possible scenario. Shadows are often a difficult and debatable subject between artists.
There aren't a lot of easy to read books about shadows, dedicated entirely to the wonderful medium of pastel. I like Maggie's approach and have learn a lot from her book. I love just looking at her paintings, as though the book is a coffee table, not just an educational one.
She has produced a good book, full of information for the beginner and more advance artist alike.
Listmania!
