This 35-page coloured pencil printable e-booklet is a resource for botanical artists to learn how to see and interpret the intensity of the colour red in its many forms in nature. It includes a comprehensive coloured pencil listing of permanent red options and a guide on matching red pant subjects. And after achieving the necessary colour matches, the challenge is to maintain intensity throughout the layering process. The retention of brilliance in chroma and depth in shadow is essential to capture value ranges that define the realism of the genre.

In summary, this booklet covers:

  • The search for and the use of the colour red in art through the pages of history.
  • The latest information on permanent red colours in three different coloured pencil brands.
  •  How to use colour bias to guide your colour-marching options.
  • How to test for both colour and value assessment.
  • How to hold on to colour intensity as you layer.
  • How to add depth of colour for shadows.
