Simmonds, a popular English pastelist, has stunningly produced exactly what she set out to: a complete, well-written pastel course, covering everything from simple marks to sophisticated paintings. Her lesson on water and skies, for example, contains dozens of mini-lessons on the transitory moods and colors of the sea, the clouds, and reflections in ponds. Whether dealing with portraits, landscapes, or creative interpretations of the styles of C?zanne or Van Gogh, Simmonds never fails to inspire. Recommended for most collections, this is a good companion to other pastel books, like Exploring Pastel with Barry Watkin (LJ 3/15/97).

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This text presents a complete pastel painting course for the beginner in ten easy-to-follow lessons. The author guides the newcomer step-by-step through the basics of working with this medium, and demonstrates how to achieve results right from the start. A survey of materials, equipment and the range of pastels available leads straight into the first lesson in mark-making and developing pastel technique. The lessons then go on to discuss: form, tone, light and colour; working from life, both indoors and out; and the basic elements of picture-making. Readers are also encouraged to experiment with painting on different surfaces and using other media in combination with pastels. Each lesson begins with a list of aims, which are followed by clear instructions on how to achieve them. Step-by-step demonstrations, annotated artworks and finished paintings reveal the whole process in detail, while practical exercises allow beginners to build up their own workbook. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001879638
