5 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners   May 14, 2008
  9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I've spent a lot of money on books to teach myself painting. I believed many grand promises made by these books and have found myself more disappointed than successful. Not the case with this one. This book was so easy to understand, I was thrilled to find success at my early attempts. Techniques were explained clearly and the demonstrations were also easy to understand. Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Great for beginners   February 8, 2008
The way Gary Greene explains how to use colored and water color pencils makes it very easy to follow the steps. He clearly
shows what results to get in an easy to follow manner. Great for beginners as well as more advantaged users of these mediums.
I highly recommend this book.

4 out of 5 stars My Review   January 14, 2007
  16 out of 18 found this review helpful

This book does a very good job of showing how to use colored pencils and watersoluble pencils both indepently and together. I used it to use watersolubles for large areas and the colored pencils for detail and it helped quite a bit.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent getting started book   December 30, 2006
  21 out of 22 found this review helpful

I have always wanted to learn how to use colored pencils. This book covers the basic techniques of both colored and watercolor pencils and how to combine them. The author does not assume anything and explains basic techniques you can try along with step by step directions for several drawings. I found this book an excellent way to get started.
