Colored Pencil Tips And Techniques

I purchased my first set of Berol colored pencils back in 1983, for an illustration class in art college. I never really got to open them up in class, because I had to drop out of art school, due to financial problems. So, when I did open them up and started experimenting and exploring with colored pencils, I was on my own. I had no teacher to explain or guide me on how to use this medium.

Over the years, I have come to find out that color pencils are a very non-forgiving medium. However, I find working with color pencil to be extremely fulfilling and uplifting. The the medium allows me to ever explore, to ever learn, and to ever challenge myself as an artist. Now, I wish to share everything that I have learned with other artists out there,who might be in the very same dilemma as I was after I left art school.
