    Description
    From the head vignette to the full-length figure, this book surveys the materials, surfaces, and techniques of the medium, then focuses on the individual components of the portrait. Pastel has long been considered an ideal medium for painting portraits. Here, noted pastelist Madlyn-Ann Woolwich calls on a group of outstanding artists to demonstrate the important elements that go into creating successful portraits in pastel. Luminous portraits throughout the book demonstrate an amazing range of styles, techniques, and approaches. 292 full-color illustrations.
