Materials Required • For the paper I use Fisher 400 sandpaper, but whatever support you are used to using that will accept a good amount of pastel. • Soft pastels... There are so many to choose from in the various sets available, but the minimum selection I would recommend would be three tints from dark to light of the following colours: - Warm Cadmium Red and cold Alizarin crimson. - Warm Cadmium Yellow and cold Lemon yellow. - Warm Ultramarine blue and cold Cerulean blue. - Warm sap green and cold Viridian green. - Also Blue grey, Green Grey, brown grey. NOTE: I have tried to give the pigment names as in oil paint. The various pastel manufactures have differing names and Sennelier, the pastels I use, are numbered! • An old bristle brush comes in handy... and lots of enthusiasm.
