Pastel Artist Bible An Essential Reference for the Practicing Artist Artist Bibles Claire Brown 9780785820840 Books Reviews

• I've recently discovered pastels and have devoured as many books as I can find on the subject. To date this one is the best. The information is provided in clear, short points. The illustrations are large and numerous - and show what the author is explaining well. There is also some exploration of artistic techniques and how they can be applied specifically to pastel work. In comparison to other books on the subject I find this book manages to give all the important information in an efficient, easy to read way. It is also a relatively small, spiral bound book so it's easy to keep the page open, to carry and store. The section on colours and colour mixing is something I will refer to again and again. Very happy with this purchase!
• Good book for my collection. Helpful tips especially for newcomers to this art.
• A general review on pastels, good for a beginner to this medium. Has some techniques, but are to brief to be of any use to the beginner. There are better books available on pastel techniques.
• Loved this book reminded me of the many techniques I learned in college. A very good course review, with many pictures to demonstrate the techniques to the reader.
• Educational. I have read and gone back several times looking for instructions.
• I have worked in pastels on and off for over 50 years and I was looking for a book to help me catch up on the latest techniques and what materials were available. I found this book to be very concise and helpful it is well laid out and the information in it is very credible the illustrations are both colorful and well done and are good examples of what is being expressed in words. I highly recommend this for anyone starting in pastel work because it is simple and well laid out and easy to follow. I also recommend it for anyone who has worked in pastel but has not worked in it for the last few years.
• Lots of good information. I can see I will be referring to topics in this book for a long time.
• Has lots of good tips. Learned a lot.
