Review: Cllear instructions, unorthodox style - I am still beginning my journey into colored pencil drawing, though not a complete beginner. What attracted me to this book were the reviews about the clear style and the painterly results. Both were right on the money. There are tons of how-to colored pencil books. Many contain the same basic concepts and often similar types of projects. The key differentiator is in the quality of the instructions. Most books err on the side of more projects with less instruction for each. While it is nice to see page after page of lovely work by the authors of these books, those hoping to actually reproduce the subject are stymied by the absence of instructions. Another problem is the instructions are often long and imprecise. For instance, a figure will appear in which several colors and locations of layering have been done, often different. The instructions will say to add color x, then y, then z, without specifying the all important where and how much questions. In the end, these books are worse than no instruction since the reader ends up frustrated by following the perceived instructions and getting an entirely different result. Cynthia Knox does not fall into this trap. She trades off more projects for better descriptions, much to the advantage of those wishing to learn from her. Each step is described in exquisite detail with precise descriptions of the colors and techniques used. Best of all, if you follow her lead carefully, you end up with works very much resembling the master picture. This builds confidence enormously and effectively teaches technique. Now to the unorthodox bit. Cynthia Knox has a unique style of colored pencil. First, she favors Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, an unusual choice for colored pencil people. She also favors considerably more pressure and fewer layers than her brethren. For those like me who do not have the zillions of hours and patience needed to do a zillion light colored layers of 15 different hues, this is excellent, but be warned that her style is non-standard. Last, even though she favors the painterly colored pencil style that all the leading lights prefer, where she seeks to make her work resemble an oil painting, she does it without using OMS (odorless mineral spirits) washes or other solvent based techniques. Instead, she favors the low-tech white pencil burnishing strategy. For those semi-beginners looking to improve their technique and make some lovely paintings based on her work, this is an excellent book. If, however, you favor a light layered approach, hyper-realism, and liberal use of solvents, steer clear. Review: Excellent guide for colored pencil beginners - This is a great book for individuals starting out in colored pencils. It includes an introduction to colored pencils and the supplies you will need, along with step-by-step demonstrations on how to paint various flowers. I completed three of the demos and found Ms. Knox's instructions clear and easy to follow. The final project in the book ties together everything you have learned while completing the lessons. A good companion to this book is Ms. Knox's video on craftsy.com. ## Features - Walter Foster Drawing Made Easy Flowers In Colored Pencils Book - Walter Foster Drawing Made Easy Flowers In Colored Pencils Book- This gorgeous guide pairs the lively, vibrant strokes of colored pencil with a stunning array of botanicals. - From garden and tropical flower portraits to gorgeous floral still life drawings, there is a project to suit every flower lover. - Inside, you'll learn professional methods of developing a colored pencil through simple step-by-step demonstrations, with helpful tips and tricks sprinkled throughout. - 64 pages, soft cover. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #420,979 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #775 in Composition Notebooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 215 Reviews | ## Images ![Walter Foster Drawing Made Easy Flowers in Colored Pencils Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813QhTpqmpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cllear instructions, unorthodox style *by J***N on September 4, 2013* I am still beginning my journey into colored pencil drawing, though not a complete beginner.

Doesn't have every flower known to man, but contains the most common used in paintings, etc. The techniques can be applied to other flowers, good instructions to learn the "basics" for flower texture and feel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/8007251-walter-foster-drawing-made-easy-flowers-in-colored-pencils-book](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/8007251-walter-foster-drawing-made-easy-flowers-in-colored-pencils-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
