The internationally acclaimed dramatist Edward Bond endures as one of the towering figures of contemporary British theatre. His plays are read at schools and university level. "Edward Bond is the most radical playwright to have emerged from the sixtiLear - "Bonds greatest (and biggest) play ... It is even more topical now and will become more so as mans inhumanity gains subtle sophistication with the twenty-first centurys approach" (The Times); The Sea - "It blends wild farce with tragedy and ends with a sliver of hope ... what makes the play fascinating is Bonds bleak poetry and social comedy" (Guardian); Narrow Road to the Deep North - "His best piece so far ... No one else could have written it" (The Times); Black Mass; written for performance at an anti-apartheid demonstration: "A Georg Grosz picture come to life ... the only possible kind of artistic imagery through which to speak of such evil" (Listener); Passion - a play for CND: "Mingles comedy and high anger with absolute sureness." (Guardian)Edward Bond is "one of our outstanding playwrights ... He is already an acknowledged classic" (Plays and Players)

It has an escellent look into the basics while giving you some demos to help you understand those basics. As with most if not all professional painters; they all have their equipment that they love and use; but you have to decide what works right for you. Some papers and other items might not be for you; so you have to decide for yourself. All-in-all a top notch book that I would highly recommend for your pastel painting library.3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. 5 starsBy lynnThis a the pastel book i also have his oil book get it11 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Full of information for painting in pastelsBy Sandy Askey-AdamsI will not keep a book if I find that it is not helpful. Every book out there on the market has something to offer. Some more so than others; but it is also the Way it is presented. There is a reason for each book and some can offer very good reasons to be out there.This book has tons of information with photographs. Tons of demonstrations with step by step instructions from the blocking in to development of the whole painting.Tells of materials to use such as the names of supports to do the pastel work on. He tells and shows photographs of which pastels he uses in each demonstration; Instructs on basic techniques; and experimenting with other ideas such as how to prepare the pastel board for different effects. Tells how to make your own mahl stick with photo; and how; what; and when to use one.There is a wealth of information within the pages of "Painting in Pastels" that gets into all kind of different subject matter. Give it a try.It will help you with your motivation.
