One of the best pastel instructions by Maggie Price
28 April 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When you are an artist, you tend to collect a lot of books on the " how to's " and many of them end up on the bookshelf and not being used. This one is a total exception! She has some wonderful techniques for painting sunlight and shadows and she is easy to follow. She goes step by step and has some great demonstrations. I use this book all the time because I tend to forget stuff, so I grab her book and can easily look it up. Well worth the price!!

Painting Sunlight and Shadow with Pastels: Essential Techniques for Brilliant Effects
I love this book!
It goes through the basics. It covers shadows and lighting in every possible scenario. Shadows are often a difficult and debatable subject between artists.
There aren't a lot of easy to read books about shadows, dedicated entirely to the wonderful medium of pastel. I like Maggie's approach and have learn a lot from her book. I love just looking at her paintings, as though the book is a coffee table, not just an educational one.
She has produced a good book, full of information for the beginner and more advance artist alike.
