How to paint portraits in pastel

Bought for my Wife - She recommends it

Lovely book

The book was not technically what I expected, it may sound big headed but my ability is better than that portrayed in the book. Consequently, I was disappointed with it

Absolutely Fantastic! The old school knowledge coming from the great pastelists of the past as well as today are simply invaluable! It's like being taught by the masters personally... One on One! The art samples and demonstrations are priceless! This book is from the early 1970s.... So you will notice many more pastel companies exist today compared to the listing in the book, but none the less, the info and wisdom behind the author is still great. Besides that, Mr Singer is a great artist himself (or was, not sure if he's still living?). There are probably not many copies in great shape still lying around. .. So if you can find one in great shape... Don't hesitate.... Grab it immediately! Btw, I am a professional illustrator and art teacher, so I not one for just throwing out compliments so freely!

I am somewhat of a new-bie to painting and I have started to collect books to use for information and to give me incentive to try my hand at painting. This book did both. I put this book on my 'go-to-first shelf' I when need inspiration or tip on how to complete my project. It's keeper and worth buying.

Excellent condition for a book more than 50 years old! Very happy with this.

I took an art class where the artist had this book and he told me it was out of print! What a treasure to find it! Thank you! Wonderful resource book.

horrible book!
