Art Instruction Book - DRAWING - PASTEL PAINTING Step-by-Step - by Margaret Evans

This is a practical and comprehensive guide for all soft pastel painting enthusiasts, from the beginner to the experienced artist.

Starting with advice on materials, it moves on to pastel basics such as blending, adding tone and using a limited palette.

Throughout the book, the art of painting in pastels is taught through 13 beautiful, easy to follow step-by-step projects, and each section is accompanied by a selection of inspirational paintings by the three featured artists, in a rich variety of styles.

There are sections on landscape painting featuring advice on composition and painting trees and water, capturing light in pastels with tips on colour mixing, and finally flower painting, with additional information on adding water to pastels.

It uses material from the following titles in the Step-by-Step Leisure Arts series: Painting with Pastels by Peter Coombs, Landscapes in Pastel by Paul Hardy, Flowers in Pastel by Margaret Evans and Light in Pastel by Paul Hardy.
