Materials for workshops

	A	B
1	Oil Pastel Workshop
2
3		These materials are expensive and I appreciate that you may not want to invest so much without knowing if you will continue to use them after the workshops. If this is a problem for you let me know and I will try to reduce the outlay by a combination of small sized canvases, any existing materials you have and using some of my stock
4
5	Day 1
6	Images to work from	You will need some source images to stimulate your imagination. The oil pastel techniques are very loose and inaccurate. Difficult subjects are people and water, good subjects are flowers and landscapes. Images on a phone or tablet are OK and I have many available on paper
7	Sketchbook	This is for drawing thumbnails. Any smooth sheets will do
8	Pen	An Artline 200 fine 0.4 pen is idea as you can smudge it
9	One sheet of Arches smooth 185 gms watercolour paper or equivalent	This is a large sheet and you could work on a half sheet but I prefer to work large
10	2B pencil and a rubber
11	Reed pen	We can supply or show you how to make one
12	Indian ink	You can use ours if you don't want to buy a bottle
13
14	Day 2
15	Set of oil pastels	Any good quality pastel set
16	Pigmented ink violet	I use Art Spectrum and a 50ml bottle will be enough.

18	Day 3
19	Palette knife	You can use ours

21	Day 4
22	Optional spray varnish	This is not essential and depends on the painting but it will bring out the colours
