From novices to experienced artists, this comprehensive guide empowers readers to craft captivating skyscapes using pastels. Whether you're aiming to depict a vibrant sunset or billowing clouds on a crisp, windy day, this book provides the necessary tools and techniques.
Drawing from her wealth of experience and accolades, Sandra Orme presents a thorough course on pastel fundamentals. The book delves into crucial aspects of colour theory for sky painting, including methods to maintain vibrancy, avoid colour muddiness through 'bridging' hues, and determine the optimal number of pastels for desired effects.
Each project is broken down into stages, focusing on specific sky effects. For clarity, both pre- and post-blending stages are illustrated. The book concludes with a 'Sky clinic', offering specialised advice on common challenges artists may face.
With detailed instructions on pastel handling techniques and close-up images demonstrating the ideal surface texture before blending, this book caters to all skill levels. Even seasoned artists will find valuable insights and information to enhance their craft.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
