About this product
Product Information
This beautifully illustrated book is the first practical step-by-step guide to using coloured pencils in botanical painting and is written by Ann Swan, one of the top exponents of the genre. Water-soluble and oil-based coloured pencils are becoming increasingly popular for botanical painting as they are easier to use than traditional watercolour and are more forgiving, yet they produce the same stunning effects. They are especially suitable for the accuracy needed to paint in the botanical style of illustration. In this book Ann Swan gives helpful advice on all aspects of working with coloured pencils, including the techniques you will have to master - underpainting, layering and burnishing. She also demontrates how to mix and build up colour, and how to add those finishing touches that will complete your painting successfully. Several full step-by-step demonstrations are included to show how these techniques are put into practice. The book concludes with a gallery of coloured pencil works by the author, students of botanical painting and other professional botanical painters, providing a wonderful source of reference and inspiration.Product Identifiers

Great Book
This was a great book to add to my collection since I am an artist using coloured pencil. The book contain enough information to start on your own as a beginner. The picture that is shown is actually the dust jacket, while the acutual cover is a plain dark pink hard cover. The item condition is very good as written, but most of the pages were like new. Although, it took some time for the book to arrive (almost a month) but in the end I received it. I would recommend this book to any one who want to use colored pencil.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Art Inspiration!
I bought this book for my wife - she is the artist. And she is very pleased with it, and has already been inspired to do some art work after reading it. A worthwhile purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
