Master metal jewelry techniques with colored pencil on silver, brass, and more
Metal surfaces demand different approaches than paper, and this book delivers the specific techniques colored pencil artists need when working on copper, silver, tin, nickel silver, aluminum, and brass. Roxan O'Brien builds on her previous work with detailed instruction in dotting techniques, blending pencil applications, and gold leaf integration, methods that respond to metal's unique properties.
Ten complete projects guide you through the process, from surface preparation through finishing techniques like rivet setting. Each project addresses the challenges specific to different metals: how aluminum accepts pigment differently than brass, why copper requires particular handling, what works on tin versus nickel silver. O'Brien's approach is methodical rather than inspirational, focused on solving the technical problems that arise when colored pencil meets metal substrate.
The 96-page format provides room for clear step-by-step photography and detailed instruction without overwhelming beginners. If you've worked with colored pencil on paper and want to expand into jewelry making, or if you're a metalworker curious about adding color through pencil rather than enamel or patina, this book covers the crossover techniques you actually need.
