Materials list for ‘All my Alliums in a Row’ painting by Judy Tate
Underpainting
I have not listed specific colours here as you really can go with the flow both in terms of products and colours! Just enjoy the process.
For the underpainting
I used white BFK Rives printing paper but any reasonably heavy textured watercolour paper will do OR pastel paper that takes water (eg Colourfix).
Rigid drawing board.
Masking tape.
Various mark making tools – sticks, bamboo pens, old credit cards – whatever you have!
Various printing tools – bubble wrap, textured wallpaper – whatever you have.
Acrylic painting products – inks, fluids, gouache – I specifically used a mixture of Golden, Liquitex and Daler Rowney FW products but any will be fine.
Starting to paint with soft pastels
For this demo I used Unisons in the following colour ranges: –
- GN – green

A few extra Jacksons soft pastels
Charcoal
A few pastel pencils (any make, I used Pitt Pastel, Stabilo and Caran D’Ache)
