This book shows us that Richard McKinley is a wonderful Pastel painter. But that was about all it does. "Top 100 Secrets" are still secret. It is just a come on to sign you up for their are course. Save your Yankee Dollars for something a little more informative.
I just got into pastel, had pastel pencils and mainly draw with all mediums. Into graphite, carbon, colour pencils mainly trying to do realism, but once I picked up a pastel pencils really loved the ability to create unusual drawings. Then got a cheap sample box of pastel blocks and wanted to learn how to use them.The pastel art that I do is more of a mixed media or I really like to do semi abstract work. This book was perfect for the style I want to learn for mixed media works and only pastel works. Just bought a set of Derwent pastel stick and waiting to get them, said they were harder than the usual soft pastels which are very powdery and messy, and the Derwents can also be used for fine detail work. I love this book and the style and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn about pastel drawing.
This is another "how to" book on pastel painting organized into chapters with a few additions and variations that make it a worthwhile purchase. For example, most technique books have an obligatory chapter on materials where the author discusses his preferences on pastels and supports. McKinley doesn't go there, but does include a nice piece on making your own supports rather than buying any number of pre made papers or boards. It should be noted this author has a signature selection of landscape pastels available from Great American Pastels but, to his credit, doesn't tout that particular brand. Instead he speaks briefly on the qualities he's looking for in developing his palette and encourages the reader/student to try many different brands to develop preferences. Also included is a rudimentary DVD (27+ min.) showing some basic steps in developing an under painting which will undoubtedly be useful to many who purchase the book. It should be noted that while this is a plus it's also a bit of advertising for other North Light/McKinley products as this author and his publisher have a couple DVD titles that I'm sure they'd be pleased for you to purchase.The bulk of the book covers basic drafting issues (focal point, rule of thirds, value, aerial perspective, etc.) and specific techniques involved with the pastel medium (under painting, strokes, surface texture). Filling the balance are sections on plein air painting, sketching, framing, air travel, and shipping of completed paintings. It should be noted the book covers a lot of ground not mentioned in other pastel guides and is well illustrated with the author's work as well as relevant photos of products or processes discussed in each section. As I understand it all of this material comes from the author's blog/web site and makes the book more a hodgepodge of topics rather than a progressive art instructional. While this allows a lot of random information to be included it doesn't allow for much basic pastel instruction (no step by step demos) which is why, I suppose, it's called "Pastel Pointers" rather than something more specific to pastel painting. I'll leave it for someone else to determine if there's "100 secrets" in the book as I don't know where amazon came up with that title; my copy is just labeled "Pastel Pointers: Top Secrets for Beautiful Pastel Paintings". Regardless, from a purely informational standpoint it's recommended and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is discussed in the following paragraph.While his paintings have an attractive atmospheric quality to them I feel they also have a generic sameness that becomes a bit predictable page after page. He seems to paint the same light conditions in every scene and has a signature palette incorporating violet highlights in his panels. If you've ever seen a gallery full of Thomas Kinkade prints you'll know what I mean. This is not a comment on artistic merit, rather just my preference in art. If you admire his style and technique which relies upon a significant under painting, then he would be a fine painter to emulate, though I personally prefer the work of Richard McDaniel. McDaniel has several books out, also has a signature selection of Great American Pastels and, like McKinley, comes from a drawing/oil painting background. I might suggest that you get a copy of "Landscape" (first choice) or "On Location" by Richard McDaniel and compare it with McKinley's work to gauge which artist you feel more comfortable with.
A large fraction of this book has almost nothing to say about pastel painting technqiues, being instead about the art business. There's even a section on listening to music while you work, and a section on doing your income taxes.On pastel painting itself, there is a lot about materials and staying organized, perhaps less about the painting process. I found the information about preparing surfaces, thumbnails, underpainting, value, color, and atmospheric perspective, to be interesting, as well as some information about how to deal with common problems.What frustrated me about this book was that I found it to be overly specific about some things and overly general about others, with relatively little real useful information, which had to be searched for by reading the rest. For example, the author tells you what size he breaks his pastel sticks into and how he grips a piece of pastel in his fingers--something which is quite personal and not likely to be of use to anybody who is not a total beginner. But about actual pastel strokes he is very general, showing you only that you can swipe, hatch, or crosshatch. These strokes are not demonstrated in any kind of painting--not even a simple one. They are simply shown in blocks of color out of any context. He speaks of the overall importance of edges to giving your work a natural, three-dimensional quality, but he doesn't really talk about when, why, or how to blend edges. He goes into significant detail on how to make greens look natural in a landscape painting--something quite specific and relatively advanced. Then he talks about value and color harmony in general terms (which is nonetheless interesting and I found useful). But he never quite seems to find that sweet spot of actual techniques and approaches. It's not a book for beginners, though there are parts of it that seems aimed at the total neophyte (how to hold your pastel). For an intermediate level pastel enthusiast there is some interesting information, but sections that deal with things like your first gallery show aren't helpful. But for an artist who is ready to think about art shows, most of the material in here is probably hopelessly basic and general.As to the writing style, I found it a bit wordy in most places, which is all the more frustrating when you find yourself searching for the next bit of useful information.For me the DVD wouldn't play--at least not in my PC.Overall, there was enough of value in this book to make it worth reading, but the experience of reading it was frustrating.
This is an excellent book for artists who have worked with pastels.It covers a wide range of topics, from basic techniques, to framing for galleries. It is a book to dip into when you need to try something new, need inspiration, or just wonder how to achieve a goal. Richard is a great educator and he does a great job of sharing his wealth of knowledge in a readable way.I've loved reading the book and expect to be dipping back into it on a regular basis.
If you want to really learn about pastel this book is a must !!! Not only for beginners but for everyone who wants to go to another level with their paintings! It is well thought out and written ! Richard McKinley is amazing.
