For me the pencils in my Top 5 Artist Quality Colored Pencils list were really difficult to put in order. The only pencil that I was certain about was 1st place, but let’s get into my all time favourite top 5 artist quality colored pencils. After going through the list, let me know if you agree with my list or if you would put them in different order or perhaps you may even have a completely different top 5 artist quality list, leave your list in the comment section, I’d love to know.
The Techniques section for me is really where Cynthia Knox shines above the rest and her method of explanation is just superb. In this section Cynthia explains the various pressures to use while using colored pencils and has the various pressures broke into sections. When following a project, for a feather, you will actually be told the type of pressure to use and what effect this pressure will provide you.
