Few mediums can rival the range of effects achieved with colored pencils. But for beginning and even intermediate users, colored pencils can present many frustrating challenges. This guide offers sound instruction from two highly respected artists and teachers. Drawing on more than 30 years of combined professional experience, Janie Gildow and Barbara Newton have caretully compiled detailed answers to their students' most frequently asked colored pencil questions, such as: Can I liquify the pigment of "dry" colored pencils? Can I establish a foundation before adding color? How do I repair paper damage? How can I create interesting reflections in water? What creates the look of course linen or intricate lace? What do I do when no more pigment will stick? Chapters feature an easy-to-reference format, covering crucial topics, including set up, application, technique, color theory, texture and light. Step-by-step mini demos throughout the book illustrate techniques and help artists apply what they've learned.
