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.

I have often been told they can't believe a drawing is created with colored pencil. If you love to draw, you will be amazed at what you can create.
