Staedtler 334 SB6G-1 Triplus Girlie Fineliner Past&hellip by STAEDTLER
3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointed, 9 April 2013
The colours doesn't really stand out, the grey and blue are not what I would call pastel colours.
Other than that, good quality pens.
Botanical Painting with Coloured Pencils by Ann Swan
5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and beautiful, 9 April 2013
A very useful book - not a big book, but it concentrates on painting flowers using coloured pencils.
The author mainly uses Faber-Castell Polychromos (but also some Prismacolor) (NOT watercolour pencils!). UK based but has a useful address register for both UK and US dealers, websites etc.
I would say book is equally useful for semi-beginners and skilled artists.
Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Colouring&hellip by Johanna Basford

Even though I am fairly skilled at drawing myself, I just love this book - inspiring, and takes me right back to my childhood. I am sure I will become totally stessfree and relaxed with it, though I can hardly bear to start colouring - it's so pretty!
A great find for a creative adult or teen - not for young children, as the drawings are very detailed.
