Top Secrets for Beautiful Pastel Paintings

Richard McKinley has been a professional artist for over 35 years. Factor in nearly as many years of teaching experience, and that adds up to a variety of know- share. In Pastel Pointers, he lays it all out: information on tools, materials, color, composition, landscape elements, finishes and more.

  • Compiles the most productive of McKinley’s popular Pastel Pointers blog and Pastel Journal columns
  • Covers regularly asked questions (“How do I achieve natural-having a look greens?”) and simple solutions to common problems, such as excess pigment buildup
  • Includes a chapter on “The Business of Pastels”—tips for framing, shipping, preparing for gallery shows, and another way representing your work in a professional manner

This book covers the whole thing from the fundamentals to get you going ( lay out your palette, create an underpainting, evoke luminous effects) to inspirations so they can keep you growing (plein air painting, working in a series, keeping a painting journal). Whether you are a beginner or an experienced painter anxious to explore the expressive possibilities of pastel, this is your guide to taking advantage of the medium.
