Why Pastel Pencils are Perfect for Beginners
With over 30 years of experience, I've found pastel pencils to be the most accessible art medium for beginners. They're incredibly easy to learn and use, offering a wonderful way to blend colors and achieve stunning results. This course is specifically designed for those new to pastel art.
Essential Materials for Pet Portrait Success
- Pastel Pencils: The heart of this course! Pastel pencils are easy to blend and manipulate, making them ideal for detailed work. We recommend:
- Faber-Castell PITT Pastel Pencils: 101 white, 102 cream, 270 warm grey I, 273 warm grey IV, 181 payne's grey, 172 earth green, 168 earth green yellowish, 174 chrome green opaque, 187 burnt ochre, 183 light yellow ochre, 182 brown ochre, 177 walnut brown, 199 black
- Pastel Paper: The right paper makes all the difference. We recommend:
- Dark Grey PastelMat Pastel Paper (300gms thickness): This paper is fantastic for layering and has a unique sandpaper-like texture.
- Alternative: UART 800 grit pastel paper.
Easy-to-Follow Learning Process
- Outline Drawings: I provide basic outline drawings for each portrait. Use a graphite transfer sheet (like Tracedown – a white sheet is best for dark grey paper) to easily transfer the design to your paper.
- Step-by-Step Video Instructions: I guide you through every stage of the process with clear, video instructions. You'll learn the techniques behind creating beautiful bird pictures (and applicable to many other subjects!) and develop skills you can be proud of.
