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. This subject is classed at an “beginners” level. We have listed all the colours that you need below:

Pastel Paper
The paper I use is Dark Grey PastelMat Pastel Paper (300gms thickness). This is a fantastic paper and can take a lot of layers.
It has a sand paper like texture to it which makes it more difficult to erase mistakes on but the results you can get are worth it. If you do not have this paper you can use your own pastel paper (UART 800 grit is a great alternative).
Outline Drawing
I provide you with a basic outline drawing for each picture. If you wish to use this, simply trace the 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 create pictures you can be proud of.
