	The Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils are supplied in metal tins of 60 assorted colours priced at £72.50. The Colin Bradley special selection box contains 24 pastel pencils priced at £29.95. All the pencils are also sold separately at £1.35 each. *We regret that we no longer supply the 36 box shown in the picture.
	The pastel paper we recommend for use with the pastel pencils is sand coloured Ingres pastel paper made by Fabriano. We can supply this paper in two sizes - 210mm x 297mm priced at £2.95 and 299mm x 401mm priced at £5.95. We supply them in packs of 10.

We recommend the following drawing aids for use with the pastel pencils:

The Putty Rubber is made by Faber-Castell and is the best we have used. This can be used very effectively for removing pastel that has been overworked. Price £1.55
The Double Ended Pencil Eraser is an erasing tool that solves many problems. It is very handy as it can be sharpened to a point. The soft end (pink) is used for light erasing and the hard end (white) may be used for more stubborn pastel pencil applications. Price £1.10
The Paper Blender can reach the places your finger cannot. Price £1.80
The Safety Razor Blades. There are many tools you could use for sharpening pastel pencils such as a craft knife, a scalpel, or a Stanley knife. However, many of my students prefer this simple tool. It comes in packs of 5. We do not recommend a pencil sharpener. Price £1.25 pack of 5.

	Square drawing. This old established method of drawing has been updated and refined by us and is the tool of choice by many of our students who find it difficult to proportion their subjects accurately. The pack contains 3 transparent grids, 3 A4 paper master grids, a transfer carbon, and full instructions. Price £5.45.
	The Phantasm Drawing Board is the board Colin uses for all his artwork and is available with or without the light. It is made and supplied by Phantasm Easels who can be contacted on 01376 584124.
