Students will...be rewarded with a rich array of ideas and styles.”—Library Journal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on the colored pencil, April 6 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Exploring Colored Pencil (Hardcover)
Hands down the best colored pencil book I've seen. I have over ten books on this topic including ones from Bet Borgeson and Janie Gildow and this is the best. In depth information is given on the history of this artform, practical considerations and technique. Throughout the book, inspiring works of art with colored pencil are displayed. This book is sure to enthuse the reader whether they are a beginner or advanced artist.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the Beginner, Nov 23 2003

JOAN M KIND (Thornton, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Exploring Colored Pencil (Hardcover)
If you want step-by-step instructions don't buy this book. While the blurb on the back touts "step-by-step demonstrations" they are a very small part of the book and have very few steps. If you are looking for something vague like "inspiration" then this book might interest you. It does have lots of pictures done both by students and professionals in a variety of styles. But if you want help with what kind of pencils to buy don't look here. There is a general discussion of pencil types (hard, soft, etc.) but no concrete examples of which is which. You are just told that price indicates quality. Paper/board selection is also vague.

If you already know a lot about colored pencil then you might enjoy this book, but don't expect a lot of help with the basics.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best 'First Book' for colored pencil ... excellent!, Nov 25 2001
By 
This review is from: Exploring Colored Pencil (Hardcover)
I picked this up after going thru all of B. Borgenson's books and the 'Colored Pencil Solution Book'. For a beginner, it is perfect. There are many graduated actual exercises for different skill levels, instead of merely a picture and a section explaining how it was done (God, I hate when authors do that!). After a couple months of sketching, this book and then the 'Colored Pencil Solution Book' would give you enough to allow you to do just about anything. There wouldn't really be anything else to learn, only time taken to perfect the medium.
