Hi Sally,

Here are some good colored pencil books I have come across (in no particular order, though I am partial to the botanical art ones...):

Botanical Drawing in Color: A Basic Guide to Mastering Realistic Form and Naturalistic Color by Wendy Hollender (2010)
Botanical Portraits with Colored Pencils by Ann Swan (2010)
Capturing Soft Realism in Colored Pencil by Ann Kullberg (2002)
Masterful Color: Vibrant Colored Pencil Paintings Layer by Layer by Arlene Steinberg (2011)

Thanks,
Carol

Subject: [SCIART] Colored pencil

In your collective wisdom what would be the best colored pencil book to recommend to someone.  I thought maybe The Colored Pencil  - Key Concepts for Handling the Medium By Bet Borgeson. 
I welcome all thoughts on this.
