Summary: outstanding!
Review: Sandra Angelo is both a wonderful artist and fabulous teacher. I now have five (?) books and videos by her and each is better than the last. This book is one of her older ones but every bit as good as the more recent. She inspires you to create and then helps you do it! This book covers all basics of colored pencil artistry, including choosing a surface, tips for working on colored paper, transparent layering, colorless blender, burnishing, sgaffito, colored pencil with graphite, impressed line, working on black paper, and combining techniques. For *each* topic, Angelo provides step by step instructions for a drawing, a color chart for all colors used in that drawing, and several other drawings to inspire you to go further on your own within that topic. You can learn a lot from this book but can also get much pleasure from just admiring the pictures. I highly recommend this, and any other, publication by Sandra Angelo!
