Pastel School contains everything you need to begin with confidence. It describes the different types of pastels available and offers invaluable advice on putting together a basic starter palette and adding the colors suitable for landscapes, portraits, flowers, and other popular subjects. Simple exercises introduce you to the effects of various colors on papers of different tones and textures. The versatility of pastels is one of their most appealing qualities, and Pastel School takes you step-by-step through the techniques that make them such a remarkable medium. From how to hold a pastel (including how the angle produces specific effects) to hatching, blending colors, feathering, stippling, overlaying, and more, each step is explained in detail and accompanied by clear illustrations. And when it's time to use your skills to create your first still life or landscape, you'll find plenty of helpful tips and guidelines about such matters as composition, lighting, and perspective - plus a gallery of finished paintings illustrating different approaches and styles. The eight projects included here demonstrate the creative process from initial planning to final touches. They give you eight great ideas to begin with, but feel free to let your imagination fly.

Detailed photographic sequences explore pencil, charcoal, pen and technical pen techniques, including shading, building up, blending, hatching, highlighting, stippling and more. Coloured pencils, chalks, pastels, and pen and ink are also covered with inspirational pictures across a full range of subject matter, including landscapes, buildings, figures, animals, flowers and still life. Techniques are discussed in detail including layering, feathering, burnishing, linear marks and pointillism. The use of paint and brushes is less obvious in a book on drawing, but there are some techniques in which the brush is used to create a line, or to infill a linear shape. These techniques are discussed as well with Gallery examples shown throughout to act as inspiration for the practising artist. Sequences on mixed media, keeping a sketchbook and digital drawing are included too, making this book an invaluable addition to any artists book shelves.

Acting as a personal tutor, the author of this book takes readers, step-by-step, through all the principles and techniques of watercolour painting. In this way, complete beginners to the medium can build up their confidence and skills gradually by being shown how to paint everything from landscapes and still life to animals and portraits. The book also includes information on planning pictures, making a picture and correcting mistakes.
