A great resource but….

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is a great resource in general for concepts like supplies, color, examples, and some techniques but It is not an instruction book with step by step processes. Perhaps more for intermediate & advanced artists. The only step by step instructions were one rough still life sketching and one landscape. Nothing special. The book covers dry color pencil & watercolor pencil. The examples of artwork in the last portion are stunning but no instruction how to do it except in general.

Bottom line… not for extreme beginners, no step by step, for intermediate & advanced artist. Some good content. Not everyday drawing.

Good for beginners

I purchased this book to further enhance my skills with colored pencils. The book itself is small and spiral bound. It has decent content and information on working with colored pencils. Much of the information I already knew but did learn a few things. Good book for a beginner wanting to learn more about their supplies and various techniques, not a whole lot of information however that isn't already provided in other books

Heads Up! I bought this because it was recommended as an alternative to another watercolor pencil book I was considering. However, this book has minimal information about watercolor pencils. It has other very nice qualities, but information about watercolor pencils and that art are not one of them. I was glad I didn't pay much for it because it really isn't what I wanted. Don't buy it if you are expecting watercolor pencil information.

Great little book...

There’s A LOT of useful information packed into this book. It will be a “go to” when wanting to improve colored pencil skills (for both the beginner and more experienced artist). Being spiral bound is an added bonus (I truly wish more instructional books were made this way). I would definatley recommend this book as it’s one of the better ones I’ve purchased!

He quedado sorprendido con la gran calidad y el excelente estado de uso de estos libros. Aunque sean, algunos de ellos, en segunda mano, estan en perfecto estado de conservación. Me encantó la experiencia y seguro que trataré de comprarme algunos libros más en estas condiciones, por si acaso estén en tan buenas condiciones :-)
