Pastels for the Absolute Beginner (ABSOLUTE BEGINNER ART)

Simple, illustrative, great explanations of materials, techniques. and everything to sink your teeth into pastels as a new hobby.

The basics are the foundation and the variety of examples clarify the techniques. This is good for all skill levels.

I’m using the book to teach a beginner. It’s very helpful.

A very good book for my collection for reference

I am a beginner with pastels and was struggling with learning how to make marks. Rebecca's book explained a lot.

I'm sure this is a wonderful book for those using soft pastels. She seems to cover that well. I could not find anything in the product description that said there would be no mention of oil pastels, which is what I use.

Excellent book, bought for my husband who is an art appreciator and specifically has an interest in pastels. He is very pleased with the book and is hoping to get started dabbling with pastels soon

Good info for a beginner such as myself.
