Pastels for Beginners - Softcover

Pastel is a most attractive and distinctive medium that appeals both to those who paint and those who draw. Ernest Savage has devised a series of demonstrations that introduce the beginner to the possibilities of the wide range of pastel tints available. He explains how to choose and take care of pastels, the use of coloured papers, and how to store, mount, frame and fix the final results. His demonstrations, which are illustrated by 80 drawings including 4 pages of full colour, cover outdoor sketching, a variety of landscapes, pictorial composition, the use of figures and pastels with other media. Here, in fact, is all the basic information the beginner needs, clearly stated in a step-by-step manner.
