Rating: 5 stars
Cover synopsis: The operative word for colored pencil as an art tool is control: The fine artwork in these pages shows the energetic and vibrant range such a controlled medium can project.
This book is what I was hoping to find in the first volume. It not only shows the versatility and inspiring images by colored pencil artists, but we also get a paragraph of insight from the artist explaining their inspiration and technique, and how they approach their work.
The art is also larger and easier to see in this volume -- there is usually only one picture per page. I flagged eight pages in here of pictures or techiques I'd like to try. Very inspiring. I wonder what the middle three volumes of this series have in store. To be continued...
