Its great learning, and listening to the banter, looking forward to getting sketchy too. To the person who asked about zest-it, i use it a lot with pastelmat, the secret is only putting a small amount on otherwise it does bleed. I tend to keep away from the edges, then push into edges with a clean brush.

I think I ve guessed the paper chioce for your coloured pencil lesson .

Hi Kimberly,

There is actually very little deviation between the different grades of charcoal, but if you had to choose – I would go with medium.

I’m having a little hard time finding it.

Same question goes for the white charcoal. Sadly I can no longer be at the live lessons now that the semester started. I teach nights. 🙁 I’m trying to keep up with your lessons at a later time. Thanks.
