Colored pencil artists are gaining respect in the art world. This book approaches colored pencil work in the same manner as oil/acrylic painters work; offering instruction on how to plan and work on the entire painting at once. The result is a more cohesive, finished painting.

Rich colors are a desirable result for most artists. The techniques of creating a tonal underpainting and layering colors have been used by master artists for centuries. This book, which uses complementary colors for the underpainting, allows the contemporary colored pencil artist to tap into that tradition used by the Masters.

There is no other book that approaches color in this manner for today's artist.

Opposite or complementary colors create contrast and vibrancy. Masterful Color is loaded with instruction on how to layer colored pencil effectively to create deep, vibrant colors that exude richness. Readers will learn how to layer these complements over one another, creating rich shadows and adding depth and dimension to their paintings. With extensive coverage of basic techniques, detailed information on composition, color theory, textures and more, colored pencil artists will learn everything they need to achieve rich, vibrant colors by layering complementary colors. 17 demonstrations show readers the various techniques needed to use this approach and an extended final demonstration leads them through the entire painting process, step by step..

Illustrated in full color. Accompanying a manuscript Dr. Seuss wrote in

1973, is a letter outlining his hopes of finding "a great color artist who will

not be dominated by me." The late Dr. Seuss saw his original text about

feelings and moods as part of the "first book ever to be based on beautiful

illustrations and sensational color." The quest for an artist has finally

ended--after the manuscript languished for more than two decades--at the paint

brushes of husband-and-wife team Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher whose stunning,

expressive paintings reveal such striking images as a bright red horse kicking

its heels, a cool and quiet green fish, a sad and lonely purple dinosaur, and

an angrily howling black wolf. Using a spectrum of vibrant colors and a

menagerie of animals, this unique book does for the range of human moods and

emotions what Oh, the Places You'll Go! does for the human life cycle.

Here is a wonderful way for parents to talk with children about their feelings.

With Johnson and Fancher's atmospheric, large-scale paintings bursting off the

pages, Dr. Seuss's vision is brought to life. This rare and beautiful book is

bound to appeal to both the innocent young and the most sophisticated seniors.
