 Creative Colored Pencil: The Step-By-Step Guide & Showcase by Vera Curnow – Hardcover: 160 pages; Rockport Publishers, 1995. Ann Kullberg is featured. Reader review: The book collects a very good portfolio of composition by colour pencil techniques. I chanced upon his book while looking for references for pastel painting. Both techniques can share some of their common painting techniques since they are direct and do not need time for the composition to dry. The meticulous detailing in colour pencil techniques is very well discussed in the book with steps by step examples given to illustrate the built-up of the composition. This helps the beginners with techniques and help build up their competency and confidence through its detailed breakdown of sequences and techniques. It's alomost like having a tutor who is not physically present but the teachings effectively conveyed. I greatly recommend the book to all beginners and intermediate painters who are keen to develop further into the techniques of colour pencils.
 The Colored Pencil by Bet Borgeson, Edwin Borgeson (Photographer) – Hardcover: 144 pages; Watson-Guptill; 1st edition (Jan 1, 1983) Now in Paperback, -the perennial bestseller that is the acknowledged "bible" of the medium.

 Basic Colored Pencil Techniques by Bet Borgeson – Paperback: 128 page; North Light Books (Mar 1997) Borgeson, author of several books on the subject, is recognized as having helped renew interest in colored pencil as a fine medium. This volume is a revision of her earlier Colored Pencil Fast Techniques (Watston-Guptill, 1988). It fits well in the "Basic Techniques" series, with individual sections on tools, drawing surfaces, etc., giving way to discussions of sophisticated techniques of layering, burnishing, and lifting color. An excellent chapter of studio tips is added. Warr's work strives to be comprehensive but fails for lack of space, and its scattershot style will confuse the beginner for whom it was written. For the novice, Jenny Rodwell's Coloured Pencil Drawing (Studio Vista, 1994) is much more useful. Borgeson's book is recommended for the serious student and will do well in collections that don't already contain her earlier works. — Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
