    This picture requires 23 pastel pencils. I choose to use the Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencil Range but I have attached a Faber-Castell Colour Chart in the resources section if you wish to use another brand or see the colours. 

    Here are the pencils used:

    • 101 - White

    • 103 - Ivory

    • 230 - Cold Grey I

    • 233 - Cold Grey IV

    • 102 - Cream

    • 132 - Light Flesh

    • 131 - Medium Flesh

    • 182 - Brown Ochre

    • 184 - Dark Naples Ochre

    • 109 - Dark Chrome Yellow

    • 113 - Orange Glaze

    • 186 - Terracotta

    • 160 - Manganese Violet

    • 138 - Violet

    • 194 - Red-Violet

    • 283 - Burnt Siena

    • 177 - Walnut Brown

    • 225 - Dark Red

    • 140 - Light Ultramarine

    • 143 - Cobalt Blue

    • 157 - Dark Indigo

    • 181 - Payne's Grey

    • 199 - Black

    The Pastel Paper I use is Sand Coloured Ingres Pastel Paper by Fabriano. You can find pads of 30 sheets on Amazon or our own art store.

    In the resources you will find the Outline Drawing and Reference Picture. You can print the outline drawing straight to pastel paper via your printer or use tracedown carbon paper to trace the image onto your pastel paper. We have also included a Faber-Castell Colour Chart if you want to use another brand of pastel pencil and compare colours.

    I have also included a general introduction to the materials I use if you are newer to the pastel pencil medium. If you have any questions please do get in touch with us via the messaging system.

  • Materials Introduction Video4:22

    We hope this video acts as a good introduction the materials I use with Pastel Pencils. If you have any questions please let me know. The outline drawing can be found in the Introduction Lecture.

Requirements

  • Selection of Pastel Pencils (Faber-Castell is what Colin uses and refers to)
  • Pastel Paper - Colin uses Sand Coloured Ingres Fabriano Paper A4 (the raised tooth side of the paper)
  • Eraser
  • Colour Shaper Blending Tool (Optional - we recommend a grey chisel size 2 shaper for beginners but Colin also uses an ivory tapered and ivory chisel blender in this course).

Description

In my 30+ Years of Teaching Experience I have found that Pastel Pencils is the by far the easiest art medium to pick up and learn.

In this course you will learn how to use a range of pastel pencils to create a stunning picture of a Thames Barges at dusk! It is designed for intermediate level artists. Perhaps you have tried my free courses and want to venture into the next level up or have already used Pastel Pencils before.

If you are just starting out with pastel pencils let me not discourage you from giving this subject a go, you will certainly learn a lot from the lessons and hopefully enjoy it as you do!

We provide you with an outline drawing so that you do not have to draw free hand. Trace this through to your paper or print it straight out using your printer.

We walk you through step by step with Video instruction how to draw each stage. You'll learn techniques behind drawing landscapes and create a piece of art you can be proud of.

We have broken the course down into bitesize chunks that you can follow and return to with ease.

If you love drawing and want to discover easy techniques to create stunning art that you can transfer to your own pictures then this course is for you.

Who this course is for:

  • Intermediate Level Artists
  • Students with some drawing experience wishing to use pastels
  • Artists that wish to learn Colin's self taught pastel pencil techniques in their own work
