Originally published in 2011 in the Tips & Techniques series, this remains one of the best introductions around to the rewarding medium of pastels.

Jenny uses a full-painting technique, where the whole surface is covered. She explains the various methods of application, including the side of the pastel to create large areas of colour and using the edge for fine lines.

After consideration of topics such as composition and perspective, the book moves on to a series of demonstrations that cover landscapes, mountains, coastal and harbour scenes and flowers. Each one is fully illustrated with step-by-step photographs.
