Drawing & Painting Flowers with Coloured Pencils Book

Coloured pencils are the ideal medium for flower painting and drawing due to the fine marks they are capable of making. This attractive and varied guide will take you through all the processes and techniques of the medium, adding up to a comprehensive course that provides all the skills you need.Trudy begins with a look at the many different types of pencil available, from studio and drawing to watercolour and pastel. She also looks at how different papers and surfaces work with different styles of painting.From here, you'll move to a series of fully-illustrated exercises that introduce techniques including the basic strokes and pen & ink, as well as blending and glazing and the use of masking fluid. The book is practical at every stage and you'll be working with the materials all the time, rather than just reading a dry text.Further demonstrations follow, with examples of flowers in containers, in the garden and in the countryside.These are quite short and the emphasis is on using what you've learnt so far rather than simply copying a series of stages.This is a beautiful book that cannot fail to inspire as well as instruct.Search Press - Paperback - 144 pages - Colour throughoutRead More
