Creative Colored Pencil Workshop Creative Colored Pencil Workshop 
Only in recent years has
colored pencil come into its own as a bona fide
medium. In this unusual book, the authors posit that it’s
time for the world to exploit the phenomenal potential of
colored pencil. By themselves, colored pencils can create art that
is abstract or representational, loose or tightly detailed, photorealistic, or
soft and impressionistic. Combined with the spontaneity and speed of
other mediums, the creative potential is endless. The book begins
with a primer on the basic properties of colored pencils,
as well as dozens of exercises to get artists comfortable
with using them on a variety of surfaces. It includes
a variety of projects combining colored pencil with other mediums
and methods, including watercolor, gouache, acrylic, ink, graphite, oil pastel,
metal leaf, and monotype. Detailed instructions are accompanied by photos
that illustrate each step in the process. More than a
book about colored pencil art, this book will help beginners
and accomplished artists alike learn the rules and then break
them! Author — Carlynne Hershberger, Kelli Money Huff. Spiral-bound hardcover.
