NEW BOOKS $39.95 each
This essential and practical guide book is designed to be used with the Sanford Prismacolor Premier colour pencils, of which 150 are currently available (as of 2025).
It has been designed by me and professionally printed in Australia with 32 pages of information, colour wheels, swatch charts and colour pencil artwork. The size is A4 when closed, A3 when opened to reveal 2 pages.
The colour wheels were created using the Cyan, Magenta and Yellow system, which is far superior to the outdated Blue, Red and Yellow colour wheels of the past.
Every pencil (excluding black, white and the greys) has been chartered on the wheel according to its chroma intensity and colour temperature. This makes it valuable for choosing the correct range of colours for specific areas of artworks. As the pencils are plotted on a wheel, the complementary colours are easily found.
Colour pencil artists will find this book a valuable tool for all their pencil referencing needs, with everything in one handy source.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
EACH BOOK IS $39.95 AUD, plus shipping.
SHIPPING WITHIN AUSTRALIA: There is a flat rate of $9.00 to post your book anywhere in Australia with tracking. If ordering two books, the postage is still $9.00. When ordering two from the drop down menu, choose the number 1 in the quantity box at the bottom of the shopping cart below..
To order more than two, you will need to pay another $9.00 for every package of one or two.
You can have two different books in your order - the Prismacolor pencils book and the Faber-Castell pencils book (which is designed for the Polychromos and Albrecht Durer pencils as they have the same names, numbers and colours. See this book HERE). Please order from one page though, so I can send you both books in the one order and you'll save postage costs!
Your book will be packaged in an Australia Post heavy duty cardboard envelope. Once I take it to the Post Office, a tracking number will be provided which I will send to you by text or email.
Please double check that you write your contact details correctly in the order. Thanks!
I appreciate your support of my years of work to finalise this labour of love. Please contact me if you would like to share some feedback, I would really appreciate that. :-)

All inside pages are printed in either black or full colour on high quality white 150gsm matte paper, chosen especially for its colour pencil rendering ability. The front and back covers are a sturdy 250 gsm matte artboard with full colour printing to the edges.
After using and teaching about colour pencils for over 30 years, I developed this book as a useful tool for anyone who loves the medium of colour pencil. Whether used for adult colouring books or original fine art, the Prismacolor Practical Guide will not only help direct your pencil choices, but provide inspiration and aid in colour harmony systems.
This is the resource I wish I had from the very beginning! Lists, charts and colour wheels all in one publication. No more time - consuming internet searching and downloading to find pencil codes and names. Nor searching for swatch charts to be printed on thin papers that might go missing. And FINALLY a colour wheel using the true primaries of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow!
I believe this to be truly a one-of-a-kind publication with a one-of-its-kind colour wheel using ALL of the chromatic colours found in the full Prismacolor range AND with a modern and improved CMY system.
Other publications in the same format are available now (or soon) for the full range of the following colour pencils:
120 Faber-Castell Polychromos and Albrecht Durer pencils- available now. See HERE
150 current PLUS discontinued Prismacolor pencils - available next
100 Caran D'ache Luminance pencils - available soon
