Book Overview
Pastel Painting Atelier offers a thorough introduction to pastel painting for serious artists. Eagle explores the medium’s rich history, introduces essential materials, and explains how to organize a working studio. The book also includes step-by-step demonstrations and a selection of works by artists such as Mary Cassatt, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Rosalba Carriera, and Eugene Delacroix.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- Advice on building, storing, and organizing a collection of pastels.
- Guidance on selecting paper and experimenting with pastel surfaces.

Why This Book Matters
Pastel has a long and luminous history, yet it is often less examined than other painting media. This guide gives the medium the serious attention it deserves. Eagle draws on her experience as a teacher at the Art Students League of New York and includes a foreword by Maxine Hong Kingston.
The book is aimed at serious artists and includes works by masters and contemporary practitioners. It combines technical instruction with a meditative approach to seeing and interpreting a subject.
