Product Description

Product Description
A thorough introduction to working in coloured pencils on a variety of subjects to create works of tremendous subtlety and delicacy. A comprehensive techniques section introduces the materials needed, and demonstrates in step-by-step sequences, essential techniques such as blending and shading. Features 12 step-by-step projects of varying complexity so readers can build skills and confidence gradually, starting with subjects such as cat's eyes and feathers, and working through to more complex illustrations such as a full nature study. Each project is accompanied by a reference photo, a black-and-white outline sketch and a colour key.

About the Author
Beverley Johnston has written for Artists & Illustrators magazine and is a founder member of the U.K.C.P.S (United Kingdom Coloured Pencil Society), formed to promote coloured pencils as a fine-art medium and to support and educate artists wishing to use them. She lives in Bulphan, Essex.

2.0 out of 5 stars Techniques?, 23 Oct 2007
By M. Richards - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was very disappointed with this book. The title "The Complete Guide to Coloured Pencil Techniques" is misleading as the book basically only covers one technique - repeated over and over with variations in colours and subject matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing pictures from simple techniques, 10 Nov 2007
By Matthew Leitch (Epsom, Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
A fantastic book. Yes, the author has one basic technique, which is to layer pencil colours, but what amazing results. She has taken things to a high level of refinement and yet her tips are clear and detailed. You can easily understand and quickly learn to produce good results yourself.

Which is the photo and which is the drawing? It's often hard to tell, except that her drawings usually improve on the detail shown by the photo.

Really inspired me and solved some problems with colouring that no other book has done.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Guide to Coloured Pencil Techniques, 25 Feb 2009
By Julie Kersey (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am new to the art of coloured pencil techniques, and I found the contents of this book well set out, with comprehensive details of the materials and techniques in Part One. Part Two - Projects, has a good variation of subject matter, from animals and flowers to still life. These exercises were laid out with a few step-by-step easy to follow demonstrations.

There were also many tips, question and answer guides and references to problems that could be incurred. All in all a well thought out and executed book, which I would recommend to others.
