I retain the copyright to the content you are learning in class. That means…
However…I love to see students making strides and taking this teaching and personalizing it with your own skills.
At the bottom of each lesson you’ll see some ways to share your homework and ask questions, so that’ll be handy for you.
The paper utilized for this course is up to the student – you can use your favorite. However it’s demonstrated on a toned paper, which can cause both challenges (colors are duller), and opportunities (add pencil for a real POP of contrast)!
The demonstrations in the lessons are done on Neenah Environment Desert Storm – you can get it by the ream or in 25-sheet increments.
While there are specific colors used in the demonstration – you can use whatever colors you would like! The great thing about leaves is that they can be all kinds of colors! Make notes about what colors you specifically liked in combinations so you can use them later.

If you are able to achieve small details with your markers – rock on! But if you want to add that little “sparkle” to your work, add a little bit of pencil; grab a few colors that are just slightly brighter than the markers you’ll be using; you don’t want to entirely cover any leaf in pencil (then you might as well create it in pencil!) but the additional details achieved can make your art pop. A few suggested colors:
