In Colored Pencil Landscapes, Kristy takes the artist on a personal workshop adventure that begins with supply selection and ends with a colored pencil "painting" landscape. The DVD is divided into five chapters which include: Skies & Clouds, Distant Horizons, Middle Ground, Finishing Touches and Final Thoughts. Along the way, step-by-step instruction includes the use of water color pencils and traditional colored pencils to produce a landscape painting consisting of vivid and rich colors.

Very well done. Covers both dry and wet type pencils.
Presentation began too slowly for a "beyond the basics" approach. Discussing each of the various types of colored pencil and substrate would have been appropriate in an introductory presentation, but should then have been accompanied by a demonstration of how each differs from the others. In any case, she used only several of the introduced tools in the ensuing demonstration, and so it's hard to understand the point of the first 15 minutes or so of the video.
On the other hand, I'm glad I hung around for for the second act, because she demonstrated several techniques that are quite clever and useful, and which I haven't seen elsewhere.
At this point I'm not persuaded to go out and buy her book, but will certainly look at it if I see it on a store shelf.
Video quality was quite good. The price and service are hard to beat.
