"Art of Sketching with Colour Pencils" is an art book to create an interest in the art of using pencil colours amongst art students and art lovers. In designing this book we have tried to reconcile traditional and modern approaches to art. The significance and the creativity of the colour pencil has been perennial in time. This book acknowledges this significance and presents to you samples of the flowers drawn with the colour pencils only.

All the flowers in this book and their drawing techniques have been introduced in a step by step manner, taking as examples of the common and well-known flowers. Popular flowers including our National flower have been taken as subjects.

Our aim is to help art students and learners to find their way slowly but steadily towards confidence in drawing. This book is our attempt to encourage them to learn and explore the world of art with coloured pencils and set them firmly on the path towards excellence in art.
