Pocket-size Art Handbooks make good reference guides for art teachers and students. They are heavily illustrated in color and filled with descriptions, technical details, and instructional information. Titles are color-coded in four categories, according to the general topics they treat. Colored Pencils is the newest title in the Green Series, which illustrate art tools and theory. Students learn to use pencils to sketch, blend colors, and include in mixed-media artworks.

Great to Get You Started with Colored Pencils,

This review is from: Colored Pencils ( Barron's Art Handbooks) (Hardcover)
Small but packed with how-to for the colored pencil artist. I particularly liked the Technique and Practice section where I learned about using hatching, ringed shading, and using the direction of the stroke.
The advice is practical, compact and to-the-point, and the illustrations show what can be accomplished with this medium. I'm trying to do nature journaling and was pleased with the help it gave me for drawing flowers and animals using tones and surface textures.

This review is from: Colored Pencils ( Barron's Art Handbooks) (Hardcover)
I have a similar small book on pastels that I was surprised included so much information. This small book delivered the same amount of information. I am very happy with my purchase.
