How to Color Like an Artist: Colored Pencil Techniques including Blending & Shading by Veronica Winters is a 96 page Paperback released (April 19 2017) from Dover Publications. It includes 8 coloring pages from Dover's bestselling Creative Haven® series of coloring books. The pages are single-sided and perforated. Artist and teacher Veronica of Veronica's Art leads a practical course in coloring with pencil crayons. You will learn, then apply, the core techniques artists use to perfect their coloring. Veronica uses Prismacolor Premier and Caran d'Ache Pablo colored pencils. Each demo includes the exact pencil she uses, brand and color. You are free to use whatever brand and color you like, as I am. It is the technique practice that is fundamental. The author stresses using quality products for best results. As a beginner, I am finding the demos very helpful. It's nice to know some art terminology and color theory too. Would you like to develop your coloring skills, build your confidence, and enjoy yourself along the way? Get your copy below!
