This revised edition of The Colored Pencil is a complete update of a classic text on a favorite medium. While providing the latest, most authoritative information, the new edition retains the best features of the original: beautiful artwork by Bet Borgeson and other well-known artists working in a wide range of styles; clear-cut lessons on color mixing and specific techniques (including linear, tonal, sgraffito, impressed line, burnishing, and liquid techniques); and demonstrations of the various methods for creating successful works in colored pencil.Not only has all the information been updated to reflect new developments in colored pencil materials, but also, two entirely new chapters have been added to introduce revolutionary techniques. The first shows how frisket film can be used to lift colored pencil pigment from paper, allowing erasures to be made easily and with precision. An added benefit of this technique is that it makes it easier to draw negatively, that is, to create light linear elements within previously applied color passages.The second new chapter presents an ingenious way of using ordinary masking tape in colored pencil drawing. With this tape and a burnisher, the most densely applied color can be almost completely removed. With simple modifications, a more painterly "lift" can be achieved, with a loose effect that falls within art's cherished category of "the happy accident."Fifty new color illustrations and three new step-by-step demonstrations round out the revision. With such a wealth of new and updated material, this edition of The Colored Pencil has much to offer every artist interested in an increasingly popular, highly versatile medium. Read Less
