Excellent & Thorough!

I have so many colored pencil drawing, art, and painting books, and this one is superb. It is one of my favorite colored pencil art books. Helpful, easy to understand, and thorough instructions, and other information you need to learn the art of painting with colored pencils. Highly Recommend!

Alyonia Nickelsen is not only a tremendously talented woman, she is an inventor, author, and pace setter. Her book shows stunning artwork that she helps to take the mystery out of producing.
