Coloured pencils Workshop product list

Each attendee is supplied with the necessary paper/support required for the day and for those bringing and using their own products on the day you will need to bring the following with you:


WH Smith Coloured pencils pack of 36
A £10 Home Kit Includes the W H Smith Colouring pencils (pk 36)
New colours for the WH Smith Colouring pencils pack of 48
A £13 Home Kit includes 'New' colours in a pencil wallet
1.   A selection of your own Coloured pencils 

As each Workshop subject varies, the colours required will vary too, but ensure you bring a set of pencils with a good choice of neutrals such as browns and greys as these are the most used colours.
A Black, flesh tone (Peach and/or pink tone) and white is a must in every Workshop. If you purchase an Art Kit, each pencil is numbered allowing you to easily select the  colour needed which is stipulated in the workshop booklets .
NOTE: Oil based Coloured pencil ranges may not be suited for use in these Workshops as they can be limited in their layering and blending abilities.

KITS LOANED/PURCHASED: The WH Smith pack 36 or 48 Coloured pencils is provided.
The 48 set are used in Advanced Workshops (Click the image above to view the Wh Smith Coloured Pencil Article)

Derwent Coloursoft White pencil
Caran Dache or Derwent coloursoft white pencils are good grades
2.  A white pencil of good quality
The white pencil is one of the most important pencils in these Workshops so a good quality white pencil is recommended. 
Brands such as Derwent Coloursoft , Prismacolor Premier or Caran Dache Luminance are vibrant whites and good for blending too.

KITS LOANED/PURCHASED: A WHSmith white pencil is included

​Professional White pencil brands are available during the day

White Eraser
Ensure your rubber is clean and used for Coloured pencils only.
4.  A white Eraser
A clean Rubber is needed for the Workshop.  Make sure the Rubber has not been used for Graphite Work as this may transfer onto your Artwork.

​Stock available to purchase on the day


Frisk Tracedown paper graphite sheet pack
5.  A sheet of Tracedown
A photocopy outline of the subject matter is provided and an A4 or A3 sheet of Tracedown will be needed for transferring the photo image on to your support.

​An A3 size sheet will be needed for the Leopard workshop (August 2019) 
​
KITS LOANED/PURCHASED: A pre-sprayed outline is provided


Single and double metal pencil sharpeners

Don't forget your pencil sharpener - there are many sharpeners out there but ensure you have one that fits your pencil barrel as they can vary.

KITS LOANED/PURCHASED: A pencil sharpener is provided

Blusher brushes
7.  A large, soft brush
A Soft brush is a must in these pencil Workshops. A cheap option is using or purchasing a blusher brush but there are also brushes sold specifically for this purpose.

KITS LOANED/PURCHASED: A brush is provided

Optional products:

Desktop Easel
This A3 Arts & Crafts Workstation is a good choice as you can adjust the height
8.  Desktop Easel

Some may wish to use an Easel for a pencil Workshop and if so, any flat board top type of Easel would be suitable providing it is not too big and bulky.  Click on the Easel image to go to the Ken Bromley online Art shop and view their Easels including this one pictured to give you an idea of what to buy if you do not currently have a Desktop Easel.

PLEASE NOTE: There are 2 Desktop Easels with a non-fixed board that may be loaned, if you wish to borrow one during the Workshop, please book in advance.


Desktop Easel
A Daylight Naturalight Smart Lamp with rechargeable battery that provides up to four hours of light.
9.  Daylight Lamp (Battery powered/rechargeable)

If you wish to bring along a Daylight Lamp so you can work with natural light at your workstation, please feel free. As there are no sockets at these tables, a battery powered or rechargeable light can be used if needed.
​For samples, visit the SAA page HERE


PLEASE NOTE: Although there are no sockets at the work tables, there are a few sockets available at the venue should you need to charge a light or iPad to use during the day. Ideally ensure electricals are fully charged beforehand


Winsor & Newton Fixative
10. Fixative
You may wish to bring an aerosol fixative with you on the day if you prefer to fix your pencil layers although it will not be included in demonstrations by the tutor.

Please note: Fixative should only be used in well ventilated areas and for these Workshops, should only be sprayed outdoors to avoid others inhaling.


KITS LOANED/PURCHASED: Not provided

Battery powered pencil sharpener
11. Battery powered or Manual pencil sharpener 
A Manual pencil sharpener may be your preferred option of keeping your pencils sharp should you wish to bring one along. You are also welcome to bring an electric sharpener too as long as the noise does not disrupt others that are also working.


Faber Castell pencil Eraser
12. A pencil rubber
A pencil rubber can help to remove very small areas of unwanted pencil mistakes. The double ended pencil rubber shown here with both the pink tip and the white tip is the best option as the pink side is soft and will not damage the paper fibres on smooth paper where as the white tip is harder and can be used to remove marks on textured paper. You can also purchase individual pencils with either pink or white tips.



Single & Double ended pencil stock is available to purchase on the day
