A very helpful book on painting, especially with pastels

If you are looking for a step by step instructional guide on how to paint landscapes or portraits this is not it. However, it is a wonderful book for anyone interesting in working with pastels to achieve more in their paintings. It shows students work along with a professional's version giving detailed explanations of student did wrong and what was needed to correct the problems most beginners encounter. Since work is pulled from many different artists you can see many different styles. There are close-ups of paintings to emphasize details that are explained. As a beginner, I found this book extremely inspirational. It gave me the desire to experiment and try out some of these techniques described and the confidence to start my second piece. Even though nothing is demonstrated step by step, the books gives good explanations on the materials such as type and color of the paper, how to achieve depth, work with shadows, when to blend, affects of different types of strokes, making corrections and how to put together a composition. There is value in this book for any painter, not just those working with pastels.
