“As artists, we have choices. There are very few rules that apply across the board. We can create highly realistic paintings, or perhaps more expressive paintings, or paintings that have very little basis in reality, including those that are totally nonrepresentational. As pastel artists, we have even more choices. The choices we make form the framework of our individual style, our signature as artists.”

This excerpt encapsulates Hirons’ philosophy that painting is an intuitive journey where artists are free to experiment and find their unique voice. Her book is a call to artists to embrace the diversity of pastel techniques, encouraging them to explore, learn, and ultimately craft their own artistic style.
