Capturing Soft Realism in Colored Pencil
There's a trick to painting realistic subject matter
without including every last little detail. It's
this "soft realism" approach to coloured
pencil that Ann Kullburg shares in her insightful
new technique book. Kullberg teaches artists how
to faithfully capture the essence of any subject
without wasting time on excessive detail work. Step-by-step
she presents 35 popular subjects and describes techniques
for adding rich texture, depth and form in the most
simple and straightforward way possible. It's all
the instruction a coloured pencil artist needs to
effortlessly add gorgeous details to every piece
they create.

Colored
Pencil Portraits
I think you’ll find just about everything
covered in "Colored Pencil Portraits":
basic materials, composition, painting light,
skin tones (including white, Asian, and black
skin tones), every imaginable kind of hair, individual
facial features, all kinds of clothing, and the
painting sequence of a portrait, with tons of
full-color demos in every chapter. I’ve
also included a section on the "business
side" of portraits, including finding clients,
contracts and pricing. Whether you’re a
rank beginner or a seasoned pro...or even an artist
working in another medium, I really believe "Colored
Pencil Portraits" has something in it for
you!
