Landscape Painting in Pastel: Techniques and Tips from a Lifetime of Painting Kindle Edition

I love Elizabeth Mowry's work. I do have (I think) all of her books and just received this one. BUT, I gave it only a 4 because it is a repeat of techniques and tips from some of her other books. Despite the publisher compiling all that has been published before, there is a tiny bit that I had not seen before. Is it worth purchasing? You bet it is!It probably does deserve a rating of a 5 because of the way it is put together. IF you do not have any of her other books, this is a MUST BUY book to have. Heck, even you already have her other books, I would still purchase it (as I did). It is a beautiful book that teaches much about pastels and shows her outstanding pastel work.

As an artist who has been working with pastels for awhile, this book opens up possibilities with the medium not considered before. The writing is well done and easy to follow. Photography is excellent. I have recommended this book to my students.

Although this book was full of beautiful examples the instruction was sparse. When instructions were provided they weren't sufficient enough to actually create the examples with pastels.

Wonderful step by step illustrations. Down to earth yet inspiring instruction. Many helpful suggestions for practice and development of skills for beginners and experienced artists alike, in the use of pastels and in finding expressive ways to work with landscape.

Nice book but didn't offer anything new. I have another older book that contains almost the same info. I think this might be a reprint of it.

This book is terrific! I especially liked the many step by step instructions throughout. I learned so many new techniques and keep going back again and again to re-read passages.

Elizabeth Mowry paints with such feeling and appreciation for nature.

Wonderful book. Elizabeth Mowry inspires me to get to work with my pastels.

I bought this book as I love Elizabeth Mowry's work however it is very disappointing as it is a repeat of The Pastellist's Year, with very little new content. It is not obvious until you buy it. It is a lovely book otherwise if you do not already own the other book. But I do not think authors should reproduce their work with a newly designed cover and just rejig the old stuff to make more money out of people. I have returned the book.

I have chosen to have this book on my kindle, as I can zoom in for more detail, really enjoying this book so far, very helpful and lovely to look at too.

Fantastic very usuful
