“This book provides an introduction to the increasingly popular medium of pastel which is both new and exciting – new, because no sooner has the reader opened the book than he or she is invited to take up a stick of pastel ad start putting colour on paper; exciting, because even the complete novice can begin producing real pictures immediately.
Step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow examples show how the various elements of a picture can be created using different materials and techniques, while a finished illustration con the facing page stimulates the reader to start producing pictures as simple and colourful as the author’s own examples. 
Thirty projects demonstrate the full range of skills required and show how they can be combined to create pictures of increasing sophistication and complexity.  But each project can be completed in a single session and is intended to produce a picture which, no matter how simple, can be displayed with pride.”
