About this product

Product Information

This best seller provides the latest information on materials, lessons on colour mixing and techniques. No one who works in colored pencil--or wants to--can afford to be without this book, which is the most complete resource on the medium. The revised edition provides the latest information on colored pencils while retaining the best feature of the original: Bogeson's beautiful artwork; authoritative information about materials; clearcut lessons on color mixing and specific techniques; and demonstrations of various methods for creating works in colored pencils. Two new chapters introduce revolutionary techniques: applying frisket film to lift colored pencil pigment from paper, and using ordinary masking tape to remove even densely applied color. Bet Borgeson is also the author of Colored Pencil Fast Techniques and Color Drawing Workshop. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

Borgeson, a pioneer in Colored Pencil Drawing
Years ago, colored pencils were also known as map pencils and were used by every grade schooler in the country to color in maps in geography class. No one ever took the seriously. They were just a part of being a kid in school. Nothing more. If you had the sort of parents who didn't consider doodling on a rainy day to be a waste of time, you may have even used them to create your "finest" art at home when the teacher said you didn't need them for class work any more that year. Then suddenly in the early 1980s the colored pencil was all grown up and involved in serious art. It exploded to the forefront of the art world and everyone who remotely considered themselves to be an artist had to have a complete set of Prismacolor Colored Pencils. These new pencils differed from the old map pencils by having a higher content of bees was in them. They are blend-able. You could layer them. By using solvents it was possible to create realism that was rarely seen before. And the results looked so true to real-life it was hard to tell the difference. Bet Borgeson become world famous for her approach to the craft. Her books were on the shelf of every artist in American. Like many other art instructors I added colored pencil exercises to my workshops, where they still remain today. Back in the early '90s Bet was one of dozens of other well-known artist who offered workshops that were held every October in Pasadena, California. At that time the workshops were a part of a giant, 2 day art expo, known as "The Tools of the Trade" I signed up for 2 of her workshops. To say it was disappointing would be an understatement. As excellent as her books are, her classes were poor. It was mostly due to her making them all about herself with very little useful information about the subjects. I would not recommend the classes, nor would I attend another one, should it be available to me. I would have to say that the experience so "colored" my opinion of her that I had a bit of trouble keeping her in her former lofty position in my mind. But then, I suppose we need to realize that not everyone is good at everything. And Bet is certainly outstanding at presenting her approach to the art of colored pencils in this and other books she has written. Thank you for reading my review.Read full review

The Colored Pencil:Key Concepts for Handling the Medium
This book is a revised edition with more illustrated pages than the first edition. I love the pictures of the artwork that are in it. It is also a great instructional book for learning or teaching the medium of colored pencils. This book informs the reader of the materials, characteristics, handling and mixing of colors that can be done with colored pencils. It covers the techniques and preservation of finished artwork. I was amazed at what you can do with colored pencils today. The artwork is all in color and that is very important to me when buying a book on art. If you are interested in learning about colored pencils this is definitely a great book to get started with.
