Materials List

Materials and equipment required:

You will need a round object such as a bowl, plate or cup to draw.
Good quality cartridge paper sketchbook, minimum size A4 or 9 x 12” up to A2 or 16 x 20”
HB or 2B pencil or sharpened piece of HB vine charcoal
Eraser (that does not smudge your drawing material)
Ruler
Make sure you have an easel or table top easel that permits you to support your drawing surface upright, so that you are drawing onto a vertical or steeply angled plane. This will greatly improve your accuracy and it will save you from straining your neck.
