  Pastels are versatile, brilliantly coloured and immediate. This volume offers a complete guide to all the materials, techniques and methods, providing practical projects to follow and expert ideas and advice on all the latest approaches. Divided into two practical sections, the book covers the necessary materials and equipment needed before the comprehensive technique section which covers such areas as mixing pastels, using charcoal, layering a textured ground, sgraffito and much more. It shows clearly how to do the basic setting up and preparation, and takes the reader through all the first techniques, with step-by-step practical projects. More specialised methods are then explained, clearly and simply, for increasingly advanced and sophisticated effects.
