About this book

Arlene Steinberg's book "Masterful Color: Vibrant Colored Pencil Paintings Layer by Layer" completely changes the way you perceive colored pencils. With the help of time-tested methods like chiaroscuro, color layering, and tonal underpainting, this book shows you how to create color depth and intensity that rival the renowned Old Master paintings. It covers a magnificent spectrum of subjects, from glittering porcelain, crystal, silver, and glass to delectable fruits and flowers, with 15 step-by-step demonstrations.

About the author

Arlene Steinberg

Masterful Color teaches coloured pencil as a serious medium rather than a schoolroom one, building the surface through layering and burnishing until it reads like oil paint. The method is slow, and Steinberg is honest about how many hours one piece takes. Steinberg trained in fine art, worked as a graphic designer, and teaches the technique in workshops.
