LADYHEARTWELL said OUTSTANDING BOOK ON PENCIL COLORING BIRDS!!!. I wish I could find more books like this that demonstrate how to properly color a bird. Would like similar books for flowers that show the layers of coloring and some other such books. Books like this are SO valuable to those of us who are new to the hobby of coloring with pencils. My only suggestion would be to add a page with only a drawing without any color of the object the author will demonstrate the methods of coloring. If a color-free drawing were included then we could follow the steps easier as we practice the methods being described. I'm sure this book will become my bible for coloring birds.. Lauren Fouts said Thrilled!. I have many books about drawing, watercolor and colored pencil in my library. This is without a doubt, hands down, the best book in my art-related library about the use of colored pencils! The author is thorough, yet accessible in her methodology and general background and enormously helpful in her book full of step by step illustrations. Each drawing has a sketch and illustrations of several steps toward a finished drawing, including a detailed color guide for each drawing. This is particularly helpful, whether you choose to use Prismacolor or Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils. I am delighted with the purchase!. "Very Pleased" according to Amazon Customer. I am very happy with the book Drawing Birds with Colored Pencils. The artist has a gift for drawing birds. Kaaren Poole is an excellent teacher, illustrator and she writes in a way that she feels like a friend. I looked up all other books that she has written I would recommend it to everyone with an interest in birds or colored pencils. The book was in new condition.
Poole explains her chosen medium (colored pencils) and how to use it, gives tips on bird anatomy, provides color theory basics, and then illustrates her technique with 27 popular avian subjects, including the robin, goldfinch, chickadee, and quail. To finish the at-home course in style: a quick lesson on pairing colored pencils with watercolor, iridescent inks, and graphite.. She reveals the secrets of creating her beautiful, realistic, and richly detailed pictures, showing how she builds them step-by-step, in layers of color. When you master Poole’s easily-learned method, it’s simple to recreate her lovely projects exactly or to use her ideas to enhance your own work. With Kaaren Poole as teacher, learning to draw colorful birds becomes an enjoyable experience
