Painting Brilliant Skies & Water in Pastel: Secrets to bringing light and life to your landscapes

An awesome book for beginners and intermediate level artists. Only number of complete demonstrations could have been more. It's a must have for a pastel artist's library.

Très beau livre avec suffisamment d'explications pour qui s'intéresse aux paysages. En anglais dommage mais il est facile de se débrouiller pour comprendre d'autant qu'il y a bcp de photos pas a pas. J'en suis contente reste a s'exercer ! merci

Ótimo livro de entrada para quem buscar elaborar paisagens, sobretudo céus e águas, com giz pastel seco (não se aborda pastéis oleosos ou lápis pastel). O livro reune desde noções de composição, estudo de valores, perspectiva para nuvens e superfícies aquosas, subpintura, para finalmente apresentar vários passos a passos, de diversos tipos de paisagens e épocas do ano, com pastel. De forma complementar à leitura, recomendo fortemente assistir aos vídeos no site da autora, em que ela demonstra e explica tudo o que é ensinado no livro.

This is one of the best art books I’ve ever read. It contains so much information that I can scarcely put it down. Not only does it provide a lot of how to for starting in pastels, but also for scaling, composition, perspective, and more. I love how thorough it is, with excellent visual examples. It does a great job explaining why you follow certain steps, and the step by step examples are so beautiful that I’m excited to do them. I’m somewhat of a beginner in pastels, but I think even people with plenty of experience could learn from this book.

Ja. Wieder ein Buch über Pastellmalerei mit einigen sehr guten Bildbeispielen . Einige sind sicherlich gut zu gebrauchen und zum üben.
