Students are responsible for their own drawing and painting
supplies. I will supply beginner sketching, drawing, and canvas paper; they are
not the quality grade materials that students will want to use when they are
beyond the beginner stage.
Required:
Wire-bound Sketchbook,
7 x 9 or larger.
Graphite
pencils: HB,
2B, 4B, and 6B, any brand except Artist Loft - you will be disappointed with the results.
Kneaded
eraser.
Recommended:*
Charcoal
pencils: HB,
2B, 4B, and 6B, Generals or other brand.
Colored
pencils: A
set of 24 or more Prismacolor colored pencils is recommended. These are artist
grade, and replacement pencils can be purchased individually.
Pink
pearl eraser.
Colored pencils: Any brand.
Pan
style set of watercolors: It is
helpful when the cover has small tray spaces to mix colors.
Watercolor
pad, at least 9” x 12”.
Assorted
paintbrushes.
Pastel
pencils: CarbOthello Pastel
pencils.
Pastel
sticks: Soft pastel sticks, such as
Faber-Castel. Do not get chalk pastel.
Oil
pastels: Cray-pas,
their artists’ brand or other.
* These are
materials students will want to acquire over time, as they progress. I have
some supplies available the students may use in the beginning. After a few
classes, the student should bring Prismacolor colored pencils and a set of pan
style watercolors. As they
progress, students move on to other mediums, including CarbOthello pastel
pencils, acrylics, and water-soluble oil paints.
** Good quality
drawing and watercolor paper can be purchased from me for a small fee. I also
stock some canvas panels for the painters. The supplies charge will be due at
the beginning of the next class. If you don’t want your child purchasing
supplies, be sure to let me know.
