Even More Colors: Workbook 2: Using Convenience Colors Paperback – June 6, 2022

A Gold Mine for Colored Pencil Artists Everywhere!In Amy Lindenberger's first book, COLORS: A Workbook, Amy presented a strategy for using a 12-color palette plus black and white to match any color. But colored pencil artists tend to like to own full sets of colored pencils. So where do all of these other colors - known as convenience colors - fit into this strategy?In this book veteran author Lindenberger shows how the convenience colors are related to the 12-color palette in terms of hue, value and intensity, by categorizing colors from five major colored pencil brands. Then, in meticulous fashion, Amy illustrates, through a series of progressively more challenging drawing exercises, how the artist can use that information to create drawings that are unified and balanced in terms of color.Together with Amy, explore the concepts of warm/cool, complementary and analogous colors, organizing colors by family and value to create better portraits, various ways of creating and using neutrals (browns and grays) and - finally - using color schemes and color symbolism to use color in a more expressive way.
