Pastels: How to Paint || Carol Hodgson
Posted by Henry in Author: Carol Hodgson, Medium: Pastel, Publisher: Search Press, Series: How to Paint, Subject: Techniques on Oct 13, 2009
There aren’t that many books around on pastels, which is a pity, because it’s an attractive and relatively simple medium. To have one that concentrates on the absolute basics and comes from a series that assumes very little previous knowledge on the part of the reader is a double treat.
Carol Hodgson shows you how to handle pastels and then provides three very thoroughly illustrated step by step demonstrations of sunflowers, an olive grove and a Venetian scene that cover a good variety of both subject and techniques. Everything you need is there, all that’s missing is the mystique.
