Thank you so much for featuring my book this month! It’s an honor. 💗

From around 1900 onwards, the
Belgian artist Firmin Baes worked almost exclusively in pastels on canvas, rather than paper; he used a similar technique to Degas, crushing pastel sticks and mixing the pigment with water and gum arabic to make a paint that he applied with a brush.
