Renowned for his vibrant use of colour, Albert Handell illuminates these pages with his sumptuous landscapes whilst providing crystal-clear guidance for novice pastelists to achieve remarkable results from the outset. This tome delves into the intricacies of landscape composition, emphasising the establishment of broad shapes, strategic abstraction, and the development of focal points.
Handell, with the precision of a master detective, unravels the mysteries of working from dark to light and capturing the essence of reality through colour. The book's stepped demonstrations meticulously dissect specific landscape elements, revealing the pastelist's techniques for rendering skies, trees, buildings, water, rocks, woods, snow, and light with elementary brilliance.
As one embarks on this artistic journey, Handell's expertise serves as a trusted companion, guiding the reader through the labyrinth of pastel supplies and techniques. The result is a comprehensive manual that transforms the seemingly complex art of landscape pastels into an accessible and rewarding pursuit for aspiring artists.

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.’
