Colored Pencil Paradise...PAINTING IN COLORED PENCIL COLORFUL THINGS by Cynthia Knox

Cynthia's book is delightful! It is a 'KALEIDOSCOPE' of beautiful, colorful, realistic paintings! The book includes five different projects with a wonderful choice of subject matter. The first chapter describes a plethora of materials and techniques that will be useful to colored pencil artists of ALL levels. The projects are presented in a straight-forward, organized, and easy to follow manner. Instructions are presented step-by-step with colored photos corresponding to each step. I loved looking through the pages and getting glimpses of various techniques that Cynthia uses. As a beginner, I found it quite entertaining to try to duplicate her style and then incorporate it into my own work of art. There is also an optional digital QuickStart pack which includes full outline drawings, as well as full color images of the five projects., which is available at www.annkullberg.com. These are especially helpful to zoom in on and see details that might otherwise be missed. Cynthia has once again proven that she is an accomplished, creative artist and teacher.

A Gem!

Cynthia Knox's Colored Things book has 5 dazzling projects in varying sizes and paper color, mixing in surprising mediums with colored pencil! Her writing style is so clear, concise, and friendly, it felt as if she was drawing along with me. Every step is explained in detail with corresponding photos - from purchasing supplies, transferring the line drawing, and exactly how to apply each layer. I tried to pick a favorite project, but I found I loved every one. I can tell you that I have never completed a portrait, but "Caribbean Queen" was so incredible, I had to try. With Cynthia's guidance every step of the way, I was amazed at what I had created! I can't say enough good things about this gem!
