📊 Pastel Paper: Colin recommends White Clairefontaine PastelMat Paper, which is excellent for layering and texture. The pad size used is 18x24cm. You may choose to use a different pastel paper if you prefer.

🎨 Blending Tools: Colour Shaper blending tools are a game-changer, offering effects similar to a paintbrush. Colin uses an Ivory Chisel End Shaper - Size 2.

Skill Level: This course is tailored for intermediate to advanced level artists. The subjects covered in this course are more complex than those in Colin's other courses, and pastel painting can be challenging even for experienced artists. However, if you're a beginner with a desire to learn and create, don't let that hold you back! You'll certainly pick up valuable techniques along the way. 🌟

Outline Drawings: To ensure your focus remains on learning the techniques rather than getting bogged down in drawing details, Colin provides outline drawings for each of the three paintings. You can trace these onto your pastel paper using a transfer method provided or draw freehand if you prefer. For those interested in perfecting their drawing skills, Colin's Square Drawing technique is also covered in the course.
