Part of the joy of working with pastels is the scope they offer for freedom of expression. Pastels are an ideal medium to use at home, in a classroom or in art studios because they require few supplies, are quick to clean up and store, and the materials occupy so little space that they are convenient to carry with you outside on sketching and painting expeditions.Artist Philip Berrill takes you through the creative process with step-by-step, easy-to-follow demonstrations.
