Thompson, Tracie – Drawing with Dramatic Light

With fond memories of her time here, we include her thoughtfully prepared notes on pastel materials for your continued benefit.

• Pastel Pencils, 1 each of:
  • CarbOthello
  • 100 Titanium White
  • 750 Neutral Black
  • 625 Burnt Umber
  • 620 Burnt Ochre
• 1 kneaded eraser
• 1 drawing board with clip
• Colored paper — can be a sketchbook such as Strathmore’s Toned Tan or Toned Gray, Canson’s Earthbound Sketch, Mi-Teintes sheets of your choice, or just about anything as long as it’s a middle tone, anything from “brown paper bag” to a few shades lighter. The main requirement is that it must be dark enough for white pencil work to show up on it pretty well.
