Prior to this I have done oils for years. and teach in other mediums as well. I buy reference books all the time in the areas that interest me. PAINTING WITH PASTELS by Maggie Price is the best of those I have purchased. It seemed to be written just for me! It is VERY informative; the examples are marvelous! Landscapes are my favorites and there is a strong unit on them. I have a student who likes to do portraits and there is good advice for this too. However. if you are looking for guidance on painting animals there isnt any. But the important things like values. composition. focal points. lots of stuff on colors including layering colors. and much more is in this book. Thank you. Maggie Price!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The demonstration paintings are exactly what I needed...how to get from the start to the finish in creating pastel art.By DjjZI am learning to paint with pastels and have a number of books on the subject. This one is somewhat different and was able to answer some of the questions I have. such as when do you use an underpainting. what kind. and why? After the obligatory discussions in the first part of the book. the second half takes you. start to finish. through a series of pastel paintings. There are plenty of in-progress pictures as well as explanations for the decisions made. This is exactly what I needed for this phase of learning and this book did it well. I expect that even experienced people can gain something from these demonstrations. because experience does not necessarily mean you have the background knowledge that might make your work better or easier to achieve what you want.66 of 66 people found the following review helpful.
