Synopsis

Water-soluble coloured pencils and water-soluble graphite are excellent mediums for both the beginner and the experienced artist. They are user-friendly, clean, relatively inexpensive and easy to use. The coloured pencil or crayon is usually a child's first drawing tool, so when you begin to use water-soluble pencils, they already feel familiar. Add water, and you can turn your drawing into a 'watercolour' painting almost as if by magic. For the more experienced artist, water-soluble pencils are excellent for use outside - light and easily portable, they are the perfect medium for the traveller. Carole Massey demonstrates a range of techniques for drawing and `painting' with this versatile medium. Water-soluble pencils has sections on understanding colour, composition, using photographs and creating texture. In addition, a series of step-by-step projects give the reader plenty to practise and a number of Carole's graphite and coloured drawings are included for further inspiration.

Media Reviews

Issue 26, 2005

Another excellent book by Carole Massey. It is an excellent starter for those grown confident in drawing but not sure about the step into watercolour painting. As is usual with step-by-step books there are clear explanations about materials, excellent examples and good demonstrations that will help you build your confidence and develop skills and techniques that you can carry forward to your own work. Although uncomplicated it is not simplistic or patronising. Another success for the Step-by-step series.
