Description The Authors Reviews Reader Reviews

The velvety strokes of pastel have enchanted fine artists for more than a century. From airy strokes to bold marks and soft hues to vibrant shades, the versatility of pastel makes it suitable for a wide range of subjects and moods. Now anyone can experience this multi-dimensional medium with The Art of Pastel. Inside this comprehensive guide, five artists provide instruction for using soft, hard, and oil pastel—each sharing his or her unique approach. From portraits and landscapes to rich floral scenes, this book contains a wealth of inspiring images that artists can re-create step by step.

Nathan Rohlander holds an MFA in drawing and painting and a BFA in illustration. He is currently an instructor at Laguna College of Art and Design. Marla Baggetta has been a self-employed, professional artist since 1983. She currently lives in Oregon and holds painting workshops. William Schneider’s oil and pastel artwork has appeared in numerous publications, and he is a member of several artists’ associations. He lives in Illinois with his wife and youngest daughter.

Schneider, William & others. The Art of Pastel. Walter Foster: Quayside. 2010. 144p. illus. ISBN 9781600581953. pap. $19.95. ART INSTRUCTION
Pastel is a deceptively simple medium, rich in flexibility but very easy to turn into mud. Three accomplished artists each present an original take on the medium, with Schneider featuring a mostly realist approach; Marla Baggetta, impressionistic and abstract methods; and Nathan Rohlander, oil pastel. All offer useful vignette images of details within each project. This is a comprehensive guide for beginners. - Library Journal, November 15, 2010
