Some recommended options: Art Spectrum Colourfix Pastel Paper (this is my preferred paper but is expensive) Canson Mi-Teintes pastel/charcoal paper. Middle-value blue, grey, or brown Canson Ingres Laid paper Golden Pastel Ground applied to cold-press watercolor paper Pastel: Nupastel set of 24 (or set of 36; more colors can give you a broader palette). Nupastels are a fairly hard pastel and are helpful for getting sharp edges but can also be used for blending. The 24 set lacks some good darks—you can supplement the 24 set with individual sticks from the art store. I suggest getting an

Supplies students should bring if working in PENCIL: Pencils: H, HB, 2B (1 of each: “H” pencils are harder, “B” pencils are softer.) I recommend using “lead holders” or “architect’s pencils”— 2mm mechanical pencils (made by Kohinoor and Staedtler, among other companies) that are easier to maintain than regular wood pencils. They require a special rotary lead pointer sharpener. Pencil sharpener Long pose paper for pencil: Strathmore 400 Series 18” x 24” drawing pad or you could also try loose paper: Bristol Plate smooth finish (2 or 3 ply) Sketch drawing paper: Strathmore drawing paper is recommended and newsprint is provided. Sketch drawing paper should be in a pad or individual sheets of 11” x 14” or larger. Drawing board: CAW does provide drawing boards. However, you might want to bring your own to ensure you have a smooth, clean drawing surface. Your drawing board needs to be larger than your paper size. I recommend a simple piece of masonite, gator
