I bought this book because I am a beginning pastel artist. Other books on the market seem to concentrate on specific pastel topics -- like the interplay between light and dark, and assume the reader has a basic understanding of the medium. This is a very good basic book that explains the different types of pastels and also explains basic techniques. It's not overly detailed or overly technical, so it would be a perfect book for a beginner in this medium.
The illustrations are of such poor quality that it is demoralizing to look at them. What a disappointment!
