| Pure Color: The Best of Pastel Pure Color: The Best of Pastel celebrates the limitless possibilities of this versatile medium. From luminous landscapes to moody still lifes, this stunning collection showcases more than 125 glowing works from today’s most accomplished pastel artists. Every page features big, beautiful artwork spanning a diverse range of styles and subjects. You’ll also find insightful commentary from all the artists detailing their creative processes and artistic techniques, so you can use the same principles in your own work. Few mediums allow you to be as free and spontaneous as pastel. Because it is essentially pure pigment that you apply directly to paper, you can achieve unparalleled luminosity and texture in compositions that come alive with color. Pastel doesn’t require special tools, so you can paint as inspiration strikes—no need to prepare a canvas or mix colors. Open this book and you’ll see how pastel’s incredible versatility empowers artists to reach new levels of radiance and energy. Like the artists in this collection, you can apply colors in layers and build texture right on the paper. But perhaps the greatest advantage of working with pastel is the gratification that comes from working directly from hand to paper. This immediacy imbues all pastel works with a distinctive, tactile quality not easily duplicated in watercolor or oil. Whether you’re an artist or an art lover, Pure Color will inspire you to let your imagination soar. |
