Book Reviews of Colored Pencil Solution Book
Book Review: Easy to follow instructions and helpful tips
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this book for over a month now and am familiar enough to place a review of the merits and flaws. Having done well over half of the given projects, including: color wheel, color chart, layering techniques, transferring and drawing, I am more than impressed with the results. I enjoy looking at the photos to see what is ultimately possible to do with colored pencils. This book has been a great help in familiarizing me with this medium that is totally new to me. I am still working through the projects and some of them I have done more than once to see if I could improve. My only gripe is that the names of the colors are sometimes different or obsolete with Prisma's newer color charts, so I have had to work pretty hard to find solutions. I hope the authors fix that if they do another edition. It is a good idea to get the spray fixative as the book suggests. The fixative can change the colors especially if you spray on too much. Working with fixative on your practice drawings will get you familiar with which colors are more susceptible to changing when sprayed. My plums looked great until I spayed them with the workable fixative and they turned neon purple. It is definitely a great workbook as well as a text. Don't expect too much too soon. I advise lots of reading, working, and more reading and working. I highly recommend it.
