### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Amazing
  

*by G***4 on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2017*

I just received this book and my head is exploding! On first look this book appears to be focused on printmaking. While a major subject of the book, the pure value is in the details. The tips, self critique prompts and the different  ways of using your materials is the true core of this book. You will have lots of why did I not think of that moments. I already used one such tidbit and it elevated the piece I was working on. The book is organized with each step building on the next. You can take it as far as YOU want. Even if you are not leaning toward the printmaking aspect there is something  to learn apart from that. For a beginner, you will learn some great ideas and how to critique your work to take it to another level. The advanced Artist will find much to stimulate your mind.The writing style is right to the point and includes the whys and the Artists thoughts. You will not find "now use a green pastel" and projects to give as gifts. This is all about techniques.You working as a team with this book. Making your own choices while you have the necessary guidelines to learn.I ran across this Artist last year and have been waiting for this book for months. My expectations have been exceeded greatly as to what I was hoping to find. The book lies open very well and has an easy to read font. A real winner.

    I think this would have been better marketed as a "Mixed Media" book
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2017*

With the word "Pastel" written boldly on the cover, I expected the book to be primarily about the medium of pastel.  I found the first four chapters explored various printmaking techniques, primarily.  The last two chapters go more thoroughly into the pastel medium.  I think this would have been better marketed as a "Mixed Media" book.  I have been a printmaker and am now a pastel artist.  I own one of Dawn Emerson's demonstration DVD's and was looking forward to her book.  It does have good insight into the creative process, but I must admit I was disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent resource for any serious student artist
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017*

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to expand upon their drawing skills and wake up their artistic vision. It is not solely about pastels, but also a great jumping off place for the exploration of printmaking, drawing with charcoal, frottage and other "mixed media" techniques that can be combined with pastel. I have owned the book for a while and have been working through the first few sections, then I got completely sidetracked into the art of print making prompted by the chapter on mono-printing. Emerson is a good teacher, and I highly recommend her DVD CREATIVE ART CLASS: MARK MAKING AND DRAWING, in which she demonstrates some of the concepts in this book. I work in not only pastel, but water color and oil, and I feel the time spent working through this book and the explorations it inspires will be invaluable to improving all of my work.
