Painting Light with Colored Pencil presents a wealth of information and painterly advice, but does so in a way that makes it quite easy to digest. The opening chapter, for instance, demonstrates the elements of composition by taking you through Cecile’s thinking process as she creates the painting Shades of Green, adjusting elements, balance, perspective and the like until hitting upon the final composition.
Cecile’s approach unleashes the full expressive potential of colored pencils to create work that defies the “typical” expectations of the medium. Through the lessons in this book, you will learn how to achieve any look you want, whether soft like the impressionists’ or detailed and realistic like the Old Masters’.
While Cecile’s methods are not speedy, achieving a painterly look is not difficult and is no more time-consuming than oil painting. And there is, in the end, something magical about achieving this level of artistry from the humblest of subject and medium. |
