About this ebook
Come and paint along with me in my newest book about pastel painting. Copy and learn from the many images taken while creating the painting of the Aspen trees on the cover. “Learning is something we should do throughout our lives, and learning about painting is something to be shared. There are different ways to make a pie and there are just as many ways to paint with pastels. What you already know is not wrong, just add it to what you learn here.”
Excerpt From: Alexia Scott. “When Color Is The Subject.” iBooks.
