    This picture requires only 9 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, 187 Burnt Ochre, 113 Orange Glaze, 283 Burnt Siena, 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 Colin's 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.

    To learn more about the materials Colin uses please see part 1.

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

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 small range of pastel pencils to create a stunning picture of a Jack Russell. It is designed for all levels including absolute beginners.

No Free-Hand Drawing Required

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.

Step by Step Videos

Colin walks you through step by step with Video instruction how to draw each stage. You'll learn techniques behind drawing dogs 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 with ease.

Materials

Colin uses Faber-Castell PITT Pastel Pencils and Fabriano Ingres Sand Coloured Pastel Paper. You can choose to use your own materials and paper, you do not have to use the exact same materials as me :-)

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:

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