Created by master colored pencil artists, each In-Depth tutorial features detailed steps and focuses on teaching you why and not just how the artist applies their technique. No book comes close to the amount of instruction in an In-Depth tutorial. Art instruction books typically contain 4-6 steps per demo. That just scratches the surface!

Quite the Challenge

My overall experience was very good. The instructions are extremely precise. You do have to take your time. I enjoyed working with some new materials. The Caran D’ache museum aquarelle pencils, the Derwent lightfast pencil, and the Fabriano Artistico hot press paper were all new to me. I did have a time working around the spines so they are not as crisp as I would like. All in all an enriching experience.

Stunning succulent

I found the line plan very complicated and was not successful with it the flowers were easier but I could not define the cacti it seem a jumble I think in this case less is more. I’m sure the artist is clever and I admired her work. Also I tried to get the larger plan using the code you gave but could not get it to download
