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 7 x 9 inches. I'll be using brown Canson Velvet. You can use any pastel paper. Have a spare bit too to try out techniques.
I will be drawing the owl and tree on the pastel paper with a cool grey (off white pastel pencil Faber Castell 230)
If you are drawing on ordinary paper you can use a normal HB pencil.
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.
You can use either pastel pencils, pastel sticks or pan pastel. Use whichever you have available. I will show you how to use them. You'll need:
Dark green and yellow greens plus a light blue for the sky values preferably pastel stick or pan pastel.
Dark brown,burnt sienna, burnt orange, Indian yellow, ivory and white pastel sticks or pans and pastel pencils, try and match the colours.
Additional pastel pencils: flesh tint, dark sepia

Sue is a wonderful tutor, so clear with her instruction and demonstrations and generous with tips and hints. I also love the fact I can stop and start the tutorial and go at my own pace. I've had such a brilliant response to the pictures completed from sue's tutorials both from family and my art group.
Sue introduced me to soft pastels and art! She gave me me the confidence to ‘have a go’ despite doubting myself and I’ve not looked back since!
I now have a dedicated room to producing art. I just wish I had more time but my life is much richer, colourful since that day I met up with Sue. Such a joy to be part of her journey…… and the Hub is amazing!"
