UPDATED EDITION: Develop your own pastel painting style in this A-Z reference outlining a variety of techniques and materials--from soft pastels to oil pastels.

Start your pastel painting journal with step-by-step demonstrations that guide you through a variety of techniques, from basic color mixing to creating special effects such as sgraffito and sfumato. Next, apply your learnings to a number of different subjects, including natural landscapes, urban scenes, figures, animals and still life.
