The Complete Guide to Colored Pencil Techniques provides an introduction to working in colored pencil on a variety of subjects through 15 step-by-step projects.
Explore the full potential of this fascinating and versatile medium! Using simple techniques, any artist can create works of subtlety and delicacy.
Readers will find a comprehensive techniques section that introduces them to the materials needed, and then demonstrates in easy-to-follow sequences essential colored pencil methods such as blending and shading. Starting with close-up drawings of subjects such as a cat’s eyes and pebbles, the projects build gradually to more complex illustrations such as a still life with fruit or a tulip in a vase.
Colored pencil artists will use the simple techniques they learn early in the book to complete the more advanced projects. A reference photo, a black-and-white outline sketch, color key and suggestions for variation also accompany each project.
Beverley Johnston trained as a graphic designer and later became a full-time artist. She is a founding member of the UK Colored Pencil Society, which promotes colored pencils as a fine art medium and supports and educates artists wishing to learn how to use them. Beverley lives in Essex, England.
