Coloured pencils are an often overlooked medium that is in fact well-supplied with artist's quality materials & can achieve subtle & beautiful effects with a minimum of equipment.
Gary covers the use of reference photographs, an essential tool due to the relatively long time pencil drawing takes to complete. This is followed by a technical section that explains the various methods of application, how to use & blend colours & create layers as well as underpainting & techniques with water-soluble pencils.
The final section of the book is a series of demonstrations that's handily divided by technique
- layering, burnishing, underpainting & so on
- that cover subjects from still life & flowers to landscapes, water & animals.
A 55-minute DVD is included in which Gary demonstrates flower painting techniques.
