Written by pastel expert and former Society for All Artists president, Jeremy Ford, this beautiful, informative book is packed full of useful techniques and inspiring step-by-step projects. Starting with basic information, like mark-making and blending, the book guides you through subjects such as colour and tone and creating skyscapes, to advanced techniques such as depth and perspective. The book builds from easy-to-follow exercises to more challenging subjects, interspersing the techniques with five beautiful projects, allowing you to either dip in and out for inspiration, or follow it as a course to build up your skills.
