PASTELS WORKBOOK
Published by David & Charles
(if the image below does not load please hit your refresh button.)
Although similar in title to Pastels Workshop, this book is completely different. It is one of David & Charles' best-selling Workbook series, which all contain TEN LESSONS FOR THE COMPLETE BEGINNER in various subjects - in this case, Pastels. I do my best to guide you through the basics of working with pastels, and show you how to achieve exciting results from day one.
The book includes:
An Introduction to Materials and Equipment
then:
- LESSON ONE - a lively and "fun" approach to pastel techniques, unlike any you may have seen before.
- LESSON TWO - Inspiration from a Master. Repeat a Van Gogh painting in pastels! It's much easier than you think.
- LESSON THREE - First Steps in Shape and Form.
- LESSON FOUR - Colour. Lots of explanation, and a lovely still life to copy.
- LESSON FIVE - Learning how to compose pictures.
- LESSON SIX - Landscape Painting
- LESSON SEVEN - Water and Skies
- LESSON EIGHT - Sketching for Painting
- LESSON NINE - Winter painting, including Using Photos Creatively
- LESSON TEN - Experimenting with different surfaces to work on.
There are lots of tips, hints, a list of aims for each chapter, and demonstrations. You'll make excellent progress - quickly!
