      I couldn't get through it. The spelling and syntax errors were too distracting.
    • 1/5
      Corto muy corto, no ofrece mucho.
      Un crédito perdido en este libro.
    • 5/5
      Very educational for someone who has no knowledge of pastels. This book includes a lot of examples and several of them are done step by step to really bring home the information. Easy to read as well. I breezed through it and was astonished to realize that i had completed it.

    About the Artist

    Foreword

    About The Artist

    I was so lucky to have been born into a family that loved art, music, literature and, above all, all forms of creative expression. My parents were true children of the depression, outside of their high school education, neither had any formal education in the arts. But, in spite of that...or maybe because of that...they wished for something so much better for their four daughters. They worked at any and all jobs that provided extra income with which they could introduce us to music lessons, art lessons, nearly weekly trips to New York City's amazing variety of Museums, galleries, ethnic neighborhoods celebrating wonderful feast days, musical performances, family circle tickets at the opera...all of the wonderful, exciting events that provided a magnificent framework for the brilliant and colorful mural that was my childhood.

    And there was MOM.....If there exists some magic that allows people to see the world in brilliant colors, textures, and lines...my mom cornered the market on it! She didn't paint or sculpt or even draw, but everything she did was an expression of beauty and in her hands became an art form.

    I didn't have formal training in art. As the youngest of the four girls I watched my oldest sister become an accomplished pianist, The second eldest, an amazing operatic singer, and my closest sibling cornered the paper, pencil and crayon market as a very gifted young artists. Competition among the sisters was, wisely, not
