You don't need much to start this project! A few supplies and a little prep and you're ready to add color to your Corgi dog portrait.

To prepare for this class

Have your materials ready and watch chapter 7 of my previous class called "Get a drawing done quick and easy". It will show you how to quickly transfer your print out (Print out corgi.png) to your bristol paper that you will use to color on.

Attached here you'll find 3 files.

Shopping list.pdf An easy to print out material list.
Print out corgi.png This is the picture we will print out and use to transfer the image onto our bristol drawing paper. Use regular printer paper and the regular quality for printing. Make sure the size is set to a 5x7" sized photo.
Corgi reference.jpg This is the photo of the Corgi to use as our reference. I don't print this one out but leave it on my computer screen as my reference. But you can print it out if you wish.

As for material, you can use any brands you want as long as they are similar in color and quality. I have attached a shopping list that you can bring with you to any art store, the store staff should be able to find you similar or exact products. What I use is:

Prismacolor Cream PC914
Prismacolor Yellow Ochre PC942
Prismacolor Burnt Ochre PC943
Prismacolor Dark Brown PC946
Prismacolor Cool Grey 30% PC1061
Prismacolor Black PC935
Oderless mineral spirits by Gamblin called Gamsol
Princeton Art and Brush Co. #1 round
Strathmore's Bristol smooth 11"x 14" (I use a sheet cut in half so it's 11"x 7")
Pencil sharpener (I use a Staedtler metal sharpener, 2 sized holes)
White eraser (I use a Prismacolor eraser, but any good quality, white eraser will do. A “kneaded” eraser will also do.)
