A must for the Pastel Oil Painter
19 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback
I have most of the available texts on oil pastel painting and I think this very useful. There is not a great deal of space devoted to what oil pastel is and specific techniques, but you can find that information easily online. What is useful is the step by step progressions of paintings including a seascape, portrait and glass bottles. I would not follow all the procedures mentioned and have other approaches that I use, but this is definitely valuable for those learning the medium. Not a complete guide but none of the books are.

Short but Sweet!
27 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a short but welcomed addition to an almost non-existant literature on this medium. Unlike most "How-to" publications Mr Rohlander dispenses with pages on materials, brands, color charts, etc. and gets right to the process of making marks. From a very limited palette he walks the reader through his process of drawing, layering and blending. He includes a variety of subject matter which I found to be refreshing. The author's style is grounded in good drawing technique. Along with this I was inspired mostly by the the author's direct methods, choice of subject matter and choice of a simple palette using oil pastels that are readily available and reasonably priced. My only regret is that the book wasn't much longer but I guess that was a limitation of the Walter Foster series itself.
More advanced than basic
7 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought I was buying a basic book since I am novice but this is not a basic book and the step-by-step instructions and diagrams jump too quickly. If you already know how to use oil pastels, then this might work for you. It didn't work for me.
