Format:Paperback
I found this book very thin, in pages as well as advice.
It not a book for a beginner, but more for someone who knows how to use pastels, as the information in it focuses on pickin the right colours for background and such so they compliment each other, as well as how to layout your portrait.

Life Changing
20 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
"Pastel: Portraits" is a dynamic journey through the various techniques needed to master the profound art of chalk pastels. By reading this thorough guide, pastels transformed from being my worst enemy to my best friend. I watched my works change from desperate, melodramatic abstracts to well-developed, realistic portraits. The person that I have to thank for this miracle is Ken Goldman. His kind and light-hearted nature are translated in this book with its gentle and open suggestions. I can say without a doubt that Ken Goldman has changed my life.

Pastel Portraits
24 May 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was very basic and easy to follow. His instruction on color was excellent. However, I did expect to find more on the techniques of drawing the portrait.

Excellent Introduction to Pastel Portraiture
16 May 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was published in 1992, so it is dated in someways, but the information and advice is still very applicable and useful. The advice on color combinations is excellent. I have just finished a portrait of my grandson, who has flaming red hair and a lot of it, and used a blue-green complementary background, following one of the projects in this book. It literally makes him jump off the board. This understanding of using different complementary color schemes is new for me and well worth the price of the book.
