LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS: PENCIL SKETCHES SUPPLY LIST
WRITING MATERIALS
#2 yellow pencil or a pen for taking notes.
A notebook, or loose sheets of 8 ½”X11” paper.
DRAWING MATERIALS
Drafting Tape………To tape your paper to the board. Masking tape is an alternative.
Drawing Board…….Prestwood or Masonite ¼” thick, 16”X18” or any convenient size.
Eraser…………….. Kneaded eraser. It is good for large areas and can be molded to a point.
Paper……………….Use a fairly smooth paper that is responsive to the touch; avoid a rough textured paper as it hinders your stroke. 9” X 12”or 11”X 14” Strathmore 400 Series Sketch (spiral bound) or similar is a good general purpose paper for pencil.
Pencil…………………….A #2 yellow writing pencil works very well with limited values. Add a B or 2B pencil for darker values if needed.
