Each of the 26 skillful colored pencil artists in this book will show you how it's done and how you can, too. Each with their own unique way of seeing, simplifying and systemizing, they have much to show you and much to teach you. An astounding collection of instruction for every aspect of drawing landscapes in colored pencil, you'll learn how to handle water, clouds, fields and sea, mountains and trees and more, more more!
