   Recommended Art Supplies

• Large set of Hard Pastels- Nupastels or Faber Castell Polychromous (hard pastels)- the biggest set they have (96 /120 sticks, respectively)
• Carb Othello Pastel Pencils- used for detail and blending; as many colors as possible.
• Art Spectrum Elephant Gray toned paper*,or Wallis brand sanded pastel paper Belgium Mist toned paper
• 1” wide masking tape white rubber eraser-
• Small, Stiff brush 1/3” wide for wiping pastels off paper (an old makeup brush will do)
• Willow charcoal sticks- 1 or 2 med. soft sticks
• Wet Ones or similar wet wipes to keep hands clean
• Roll of paper towels
• Drawing board
• A Large set (90 sticks/minimum) of soft pastels such as Rembrandt, Art Spectrum, Unison or Sennelier brand is extremely desirable also.

Please Note:

Rembrandt Pastels has sets of half sticks which are very affordable and are a good choice for artists just starting out. This will afford utilizing soft pastel to build up your color layers and also provide a wider color and value selection other than with just the hard set of pastels. You can find “Open Stock” selections on the Internet which will allow you to purchase colors separately as you need them.

***Additional Note- There are some supplies for my new students to use until they have determined what they need to buy for their personal use...***

Please, NO OIL PASTELS!
