Synopsis

Colour pencils are a comparatively new, exciting and still-evolving medium. This book shows the reader how to establish expanses of colour and create texture with an array of techniques. A variety of different projects demonstrate how to make expressive pictures using delicate strokes and chunky colour with the aim of encouraging the artist to put coloured pencils to their full and varied use. Topics covered include advice on choosing coloured pencils; how colours work and mix; the use of coloured papers; choice of scale with coloured pencils; cross-hatching, glazing and other colour-mixing techniques; blending, burnishing and shading; lights, whites and darker tones; making solid colour; creating textures and patterns; the advantages of watercolour pencils and pastel pencils.
