Having bought this book as a Christmas gift for a dear friend I am pleased to report that she was thrilled and delighted with the gift. Being a retiree she has only in the past 12 months returned to art and has quickly developed a great eye for pastel art. She said the book has more than enough reference points for her to develop her art further and has answered questions that to this point she could not find the answer to. I'm glad I found this most useful book to give to a dear and talented friend. Highly recommended.
I am just starting out in pastels after previously working in acrylics and I found this 'bible' gave me pretty much everything I needed in a reference style manual. The price was very competitive too.
