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.
