Description

This resource provides a wealth of stimulating ideas to lend a hand artists–both amateurs and veterans–develop their own pastel style.

A new, up-to-date edition of the preferred and comprehensive encyclopedia by professional artist Judy.

Many manuals on pastel painting take without any consideration using traditional soft pastels, a dry medium that provides the richness and variety of paint colours. Soft pastel is certainly the most versatile and widely used, but the up to date range of materials include other pastel types that have their own specific purpose. In this exhaustive A-Z reference for artists of all skills, a number of different pastel types are detailed, from oil through to water-soluble pastels, amongst the multitude of techniques broken down and easily explained.

The book itself is divided into two sections: the first provides step by step demonstrations that guide artists through a number of techniques, from basic colour mixing through to creating special effects such as sgraffito and sfumato. The second one part makes a speciality of themes, illustrating how individual artists tackle various subjects, including natural landscapes, urban scenes, figures, animals and still life.
