The book collects a very good portfolio of composition by colour pencil techniques. I chanced upon his book while looking for references for pastel painting. Both techniques can share some of their common painting techniques since they are direct and do not need time for the composition to dry.

The meticulous detailing in colour pencil techniques is very well discussed in the book with steps by step examples given to illustrate the built-up of the composition. This helps the beginners with techniques and help build up their competency and confidence through its detailed breakdown of sequences and techniques. It's alomost like having a tutor who is not physically present but the teachings effectively conveyed.

I greatly recommend the book to all beginners and intermediate painters who are keen to develop further into the techniques of colour pencils.

Very good works in this book. Great for developing ideas of your own. There are a few step by step instructions, but it is mainly just pictures of artworks by various artists. Some of the work in this book is fantastic. The book is a bit expensive, I suggest getting it from a library first to determine if you really want to buy it.

Nice examples of what the medium can do. There are some extraoridnarily talented Colored Pencil artists out there. Nice for inspiration, or just admiration. Full color from cover to cover.
