Access for 30 days
During the class I will talk extensively about colour choices and techniques and the exact colours I'm using as I'm using them. You do not need the same exact colours as me, only similar colours which are outlined below.
You favourite pastel paper 6.5 x 8.5 inches. I'll be using dark grey or brown pastelmat. I don't recommend using dark paper
We'll trace it together, I'll show you how much you'll need to trace or draw (it's not much) AND I'll show you how to get a better circle so you don't wobble! I'll be using graphite transfer paper. You can using this or any other preferred method of tracing.
If you are drawing on normal paper first either freehand or with the grid (not pastel paper) you will want to have some tracedown transfer paper or graphite transfer paper to transfer it to the pastel paper afterwards. I will explain all this in the class.
Pan Pastels or Sticks and Sofft Tools
You can use either pastel sticks or pan pastel with your sofft tools. You'll need 2 sponges, one just for white and the other for everything else.
