Pastel Pencils
It all starts with Pastel Pencils.
In my 30+ Years of Experience I have found that Pastel Pencils is the by far the easiest art medium to pick up and learn.
When you have finished this course not only will you walk away with 3 AMAZING Paintings but you will also be able to apply what you have learnt to draw own pictures.
Materials
Pastel Pencils
Pastel Pencils are a wonderful medium, they can be blended easily on top of each other and, because they're in a pencil form, are very easy to use.
These subjects are technically classed at an "Intermediate" level however I always say that no matter your experience, if you want to have a go, then you should.
We use 24 Pastel Pencils from Faber- Castelland 8 from Cretacolor. You can of course use your own brand of pastel pencil too. We provide you with colour charts so that you can compare the colours. Here is the full list of colours used within the course:

Pastel Paper
I start off with using Fabriano Ingres Pastel Paper (160gsm) for the Stag and Impala and move onto using PastelMat Pastel Paper (300gms) for the Elk. The Fabriano is a more forgiving paper in that you can erase mistakes more easily so we start off with this one and then move onto PastelMat which is a better paper in that it can take more layers and gets better results, but it is less forgiving in that you cannot really erase mistakes. You can of course use your own paper that you would like, there's no pressure to use the same as me.
Outline Drawing
I provide you with a basicoutline drawing for each picture. If you wish to use this, simply tracethe outline to your paper using a graphite transfer sheet like tracedown (for dark grey paper you will benefit from using a white tracing sheet so you can see the outline more clearly).
Step by Step Instructions
I walk you through step by step with video instruction how to draw each stage. You'll learn techniques behind drawing beautiful bird pictures and createpictures you can be proud of.
