  This pocket guide is an instant visual reference to blending pastel pigments, for all pastellists, of all levels of ability. The book begins by helping the artist choose a basic palette before moving on to examine 12 main colours in detail, each one being overlaid with 16 other colours to produce a contrasting range of colour effects. Four varying shades of paper are used with each main colour, demonstrating the dramatic effect different coloured grounds can have on the intensity of a given colour. Five finished paintings show the use of the pigments in context, with details singled out to explain points of technique.

  You can see at a glance how to achieve the colours you want. Just as importantly you can see how to create vibrant effects and learn how to mix and superimpose colours. Four different coloured papers are used as backgrounds to each range and there are over 600 examples to help you create your own palette.

  This is a classic book, which was originally published in spiral bound hardback in 1992.
