Comments about The Ultimate Guide to Colored Pencil:

I have many books on colored pencil. But this one has taught me more than all the others combined. Absolutely love it and haven't even seen the CD yet. Only about a third of the way through the book and already know this is a keeper!

Comments about The Ultimate Guide to Colored Pencil:

Everyone from beginner to professional artist should have a copy of this resource on their personal home studio bookshelf! It is a color pencil painter's most valuable text. The video, is realistic and shows the true artist at work! Very easy to understand and use. The binding of this resource allows it to lay flat on a surface, remain open to the page for easy reference and viewing while also completing the exercises in these very valuable and well-formatted, simple to understand lessons! Awesome!
