SUPPLY LIST

A set of soft pastels (artist grade quality). It’s good to have a variety of colors and different values of each color. I use a variety of pastels from a harder stick to a softer stick. Some of my favorite brands include Rembrandt, Girault, Terry Ludwig, and Unison.

If you are are a beginner and buying pastels for the first time, I recommend a set of 60 half stick Rembrandt soft pastels or Richeson pastels. Online sets are usually cheaper at dickblick.com, amazon.com or dakotapastels.com.
I use UArt 400 archival sanded paper or LuxArchival sanded paper. I sell sheets for $5 or you can purchase online at dakotapastels.com. I have some samples of Canson Mi-tientes that you can try for free. It’s not a sanded paper but many people like this as well. Any other paper that you prefer is fine as well.

Foam board for backing (Hobby Lobby or Walgreens, CVS) Weber’s Odorless Turpenoid (blue and white container) or rubbing alcohol from your local hardware store

An inexpensive 1” flat brush for underpainting
Masking tape
Paper towels
Small sketchbook and pencils Online art supply stores have the best deals for buying materials.
