Good way to start
I bought this as I was new to pastels. This workbook was an excellent way to start, it is very informative and is a good guide to all the techniques you can use with pastels.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a guide when starting in pastels.

Pastel Workbook, Auther Jackie Simmonds.
An excellent book. Clear instructions. Just what I needed and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn pastel painting. I don't know how to add a tag so I will give it 10 out of 10. or should I give it 10 out of 10 for each of the 10 lessons.
