What is so great about colored pencil is that it takes little to get started: pencils, paper and a few tools. There’s no setup, no cleanup, no health concerns. You need just a small space to work in. Colored pencil like any other medium starts with technique and patience, as it is a building process of blending many layers of a combination of colors.
