  Easily portable and versatile, pastels are a popular medium both for beginners and practising artists. This book contains a structured course in pastel art covering materials and equipment, basic techniques and compositions and then, using the individual talents of experienced artists and a range of pastel effects, the book demonstrates how the medium can be applied to landscapes, still life, flowers, portraits and figures. A section at the end of the book provides guidance on fixing pastels.
