Summary: Beautiful coffee table book, inspirational
Comment: This coffee-table book is packed with beautiful colored pencil art covering a wide variety of subjects including people, nature, still life, and fantasy. Styles also vary from abstract and impressionistic to photo-realistic. It is a great source of inspiration and ideas.
I like it that there is only one piece of artwork on a page and you get more information than just the size, surface, artist and title. Each artist writes about themselves and the artwork. I think these added remarks really help you understand appreciate the artwork better.
Some of my favorites include an adorable bird on a fishing reel by Sylvia Westgard and a sunflower by Nancy Huges. I also loved another called Garden Party II by Priscilla Heussner featuring flowers floating in balloons. I enjoyed a portrait of ballet dancers by Thomas Thayer and an unusual fantasy tree with musical leaves by Mike Russell.
In the back there is a glossary and a directory of artists in case you wish to contact them. The variety here shows off the wonderful range of possibilities in this medium. This makes a great gift for any colored pencil artist or enthusiast.

Summary: Excellent gallery and inspiration book
Comment: I picked this up (discovering there was a Colored Pencil series) at a used book store, and the artwork in it is truly amazing. Who would have thought you could do such things with colored pencil? It's a book you go through again and again, picking up different details every time. Plenty of ideas and imagess and colors for inspiration!

Summary: Best of the series !!!
Comment: The Best of Colored Pencil volumes 1,2,& 3 are in my library, and they are great. Volume 4 is an excellent addition and I feel the best of the four. The addition of the artist's comments, insights, and technical information makes this more than a "flip through" coffee table book. If colored pencils are your choice of media or if it is one you're considering, this book belongs in your library.
