5.0 out of 5 stars moving beyond beginner, Mar 10 2000
This review is from: Colored Pencil for the Serious Beginner: Basic Lessons in Becoming a Good Artist (Paperback)
It seems a deep chasm yawns between the amateur artist and the emerging artist. This insightful and instructional book bridges that gap. Finally, a book that addresses how to move beyond the beginner stage! The author's generous advice is clear, relevant and timely. And you don't have to be a colored pencil artist to benefit---the majority of the book is applicable to other media as well. Written in a rare, articulate style, the author delivers provocative theories and philosophies not found elsewhere in art instruction books. An added bonus: detailed reproductions, in-progress artwork by the author, and no skimping on text. A most valuable addition to your personal art library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Focused on detail but not enough, Feb 29 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Colored Pencil for the Serious Beginner: Basic Lessons in Becoming a Good Artist (Paperback)
I think this book si god for people who already know about colored pencil. It is not for someone who is a beginner. Don'g be fooled and buy it thinking you will learn from the beginning.

This review is from: Colored Pencil for the Serious Beginner: Basic Lessons in Becoming a Good Artist (Paperback)
The book is good, but I've found that this site will post your book review only if you choose "5 stars" in the drop-down menu.
