"NEVER TRIED
PASTELS?
TRIED, BUT
CAN'T FIGURE THEM OUT?
HERE'S YOUR
CHANCE TO BE PAINTING WITH PASTELS EASILY!
  
Dear
Friend
I want to welcome
you to Painting With Pastels.
 Hi, my name is Emma Ralph and I have beeing using pastels on and off now for
many years. I started with charcoal and pastels then went on to acryllic and oil paints, however, I
found them a little restricting so went back to pastels and realized that this was my medium of choice.
Over the years I have learnt so much that now I want to share this knowledge with you. My dream is to
help, even just one, budding pastel artist to experience the versality and freedom of this medium completely
free of charge.
So I invite you to
look around this site for information or sign up for my
10-part mini e-mail course below, where you'll receive one lesson a day in your email
box.

the different types of pastels and the
benefit of painting with

need.

need to get you started.

great!

And MUCH, MUCH more
Here's what a couple of fellow artist say:
Hi
Emma
Well I looked forward to getting the updates of your mini course, there were
items in it that I knew, but also some I didn't, but you did give solid advice.

Hi Emma! First of all, I
think you are BRILLIANT to have written a how-to E-book; it is truly the way to go now! And I
loved the link that showed yours, and other's work; it is inspirational!
When I was in high school, and taking art classes, I learned the
beginning basics on drawing and painting. After I graduated, I went directly into a job
painting cartoon animation (the old fashioned way) with bottled paint on mylar acetate
"cells". It didn't last very long, and I ended up in the corporate world, but still
"puttered" with art as a hobby.
I am 54 now, and "re-learning" how to draw and paint, by books and
classes (when I can afford them), trial and error. I have been exploring as many mediums as I
can, trying to find the "one" that fits my time, style and space. That said, when I stumbled
onto your site, I was intrigued. Have'nt done pastels since high school. So I signed up
for your free lessons and bought some pastels and paper on ebay. The moment they arrived, (in
a broken, powdery MESS) I remembered all too distinctly why I gave them up!
But as I continued to read your lessons, I realized just how much
pastel painting has "evolved", and how many new "types" of pastels are available. I've seen
pan pastels at work; but mostly from friends who scrapbook using rubber stamps. It never
occured to me that they could actually be used to paint a picture with.
When I can afford it, I intend to purchase your e-book and learn more
about the new, varied pastels available and look forward to trying my hand at it. Thank you
for the opportunity, the advice and the encouragement. Happy painting!
Sincerely, Lauren

Dear Emma,
I found your
mini-series to be very encouraging and helpful. I am new at pastel drawing and your course
has inspired me to I use my art journal more often and try new designs. It continues to be
alot of fun. Thank you.

Hello, Emma,
I've enjoyed receiving your
emails and learning more about Pastel Painting.
I'm hoping to get a selection
of PanPastels shortly so haven't tried them yet.
You asked my opinion of the
information you've sent so far. I think it is right on target for someone like me who's not
used pastels much since my high school art classes (high school graduation was 1967...you do the
math! )
I'm grateful that there are
artists like you who are willing to share their knowledge with perfect strangers like
me!
Thank you
Emma.
