Pastel Supply List 

1. The largest pastel set you can afford. Rembrandt is a good base set to start with (a minimum of 90 sticks and more if you can afford it)
2. 5-6 sheets of Canson Mi Tientes pastel paper. It is approx. 19”x 24” . The color which I prefer are “Felt Gray”. You will be using the smooth side of the paper.  “Do Not Get Strathmore” paper.
3. Several sticks of Hard or Med. Vine Charcoal
4. Kneaded Eraser
5. Paint brush, somewhat stiff. Not a Sable. It should be free of oils or turps. This is used to take pastel off of your paper
6. Drawing Board that fits the paper. Masonite works well.
7. Clips for clipping paper to board
8. Paper Towels
9. A Surgical mask if Dust is a problem for you.  These can be purchased at the Drugstore with the loops that go around the ears.
10. Notepaper and pen or pencil. You may also want a small 3 ring binder for handouts from the class.
11. Ruler
12. Sanding block.  A small pad of sandpaper to sharpen charcoal.
13. There are easels at the Art Center but you may bring your own if you want.
14. You  will need a small table to put your pastels on, like a TV tray. They have large drawing tables but they are so large there is not space for people if we use them all.
15. A hand mirror approx.  6”-8”.
16. Extra sticks of color if your set does not include them:
