| Uart 400 Sanded Pastel Paper | 8 x10 or 9 x12 will work for this painting |
| Support for paper | Foam board or masonite board work well as supports for the Uart paper. |
| Draw reference image on the pastel paper so it is ready to go at the beginning of the lesson (do not include the leaf shapes in the initial drawing). Tape the Uart paper to the support. | |
