### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for an absolute beginner
*by L***N on August 20, 2020*

This was a good instructional book, but wasn't for an absolute beginner. The pictures in the book did a great job showing off what pastels can look like, but are very unrealistic for a true novice. I felt discouraged that my drawings didn't look like those in the book, and would have preferred simpler exercises to start with.
