The Colored Pencil Artist's Pocket Palette

Great book to learn color combining that can be used in oil paint, color pencils and pastels... With a limited pallette, unlimited choices.

I have a similar book for water colors and pastels, but had never seen one for colored pencils. It is much more difficult to "mix" colored pencils because it's usually done by layering. This book does an excellent job of showing how colors are layered and the end result. I especially like how each swatch goes from a light application at the top corner to a darker, more opaque application at the opposite lower corner.

This book is a complete color breakdown of the primary colors....combined with many additional colors to create some unusual shades that you will want to make a great piece of art! It also uses several mediums to get the desired effect; e.g. watercolor, colored pencil, and several other materials that will enhance your work. I had this book for years...lost it..and bought another here..only to then find my original book. The seller would not accept my return! I spent $10 for my book...the seller wanted $33. The original price for my book was $17.99 in book stores. The online bookstores want $50!!! Look for this great book in used bookstores or online Art Supply Stores. Good Luck!

Usually, I don't care for this type of "guide." However.........I have used this more than any other book when I need to find a color and have to layer pencils to achieve the shade I need. The information is clear, concise and well thought out. The color illustrations are carefully printed on quality paper so they are easily reproduced. This woman knows her pencils and she makes it conveinient for you to use this book right from the start. No wonder these are so hard to find. I'm not letting mine out of my sight.

I am basically lazy, so this little book has been a welcome addition to my library of cp books. The colors are true and brilliant and the book is very organized and explainations and directions are precise. I have been having fun practicing the different tecniques they have pics of and it is awakening and educating my eyes!

This is an excellent book for colored pencils and it is also helpful for doing watercolor painting as well. I will keep this book handy when doing any of my crafts as well. The blending of colors make it so helpful. Well put together pocket book.

Great book for those who work with colored pencils. It helps take out some of the guess work with color mixing. My art teacher recommended this book if one could find it--I got lucky on Amazon.com. It was a true 'find'. The book, although used, came in excellent condition--you could not tell that it had ever been used.

excellent, handy guide. It doesn't relate easily to my woodless pencils so I have to search through it looking for best fit. I couldn't find one of the pencil sets to buy so once again it left me groping for color matches

Great sized book for swatching my colouring media... love it

Love this book. Refer to it a lot .

It's an expensive little book. It's ok to good.
