Realistic Flowers (Pencil): Preclass
If you’ve taken Copic Jumpstart, you likely have all the supplies you need for this class!

- Colored Pencils: demonstrations will be in Polychromos but I’ve come up with Prismacolor conversions below
- Paper: I recommend Stonehenge – it’s got a very nice tooth but not too much.
- Kneaded eraser
- Your favorite Pencil Sharpener. Some of my favorites:
- Quietsharp (electric)
- AFMAT (long points, hand crank)
- Dahle chubby (just discovered in spring 2022…it’s that cute little thing with the round blue top! It’s only about $4 at Blick but $13 on Amazon, so you do you.)
- Printer so you can print out the images (they’ll be downloadable in each lesson). You can always take the paper to a copy shop and have them photocopied onto your drawing paper, too.
