Professional Colored pencils, easy to use, and mobile medium, are coming of age. More and more artists are discovering the incredible qualities of drawing with colored pencils.

Colored pencils can accomplish any kind of image you want to make, whether it’s a portrait or a luminescent landscape. Both blend able and layer able, the key to a detailed colored pencil drawing is to keep developing the piece, until is shows texture, shading, and dimension. The effects that can be achieved are limitless. A work in pencil can be a drawing, a watercolor, or an oil painting. A wax pencil can sketch, can draw, can paint. A watercolor pencil can do the same. The drawing can be transparent as a loose wash or as dense as an oil on canvas.

I enjoy the variety of beautiful unique shades! Professional colored pencils come in a wide variety of colors. With 60, 80 sets from major manufacturers, the artist has a palette of luxurious hues. At a recent count, there are more than fifty different reds in the colored pencil spectrum of Caran D’ Ache, Faber-Castell, and Derwent.

Pigments from the various manufacturers are perfectly combined and mixed, giving an endless number of pure, unique shades.
