Master Degas-inspired techniques through 40 tested exercises
How to create luminous underlayers, when printmaking elements enhance rather than overwhelm, which surfaces amplify texture without fighting your marks.
The 160-page format provides room for process details that matter, not just what to do, but why certain sequences work and others don't. Emerson teaches from practical experience, showing how historical techniques adapt to contemporary materials and studio realities. You learn to layer monoprints beneath pastel work, build dimensional surfaces that hold soft media, and combine approaches in ways that feel deliberate rather than random.
Whether you're stuck in comfortable habits or looking to push pastel beyond traditional approaches, these exercises give you concrete methods to explore. The hardcover binding stands up to studio use, pages staying open while you work through demonstrations that respect your intelligence without assuming advanced knowledge.
