If you have other hues that are fairly close to these, that is fine.) *Titanium White *Cadmium Yellow Yellow Ochre Burnt Sienna *Burnt Umber *Ultramarine Blue Cobalt Violet *Alizarin Crimson Cadmium Red Light Odorless mineral spirits Painting Medium (we will discuss this the first night of class, it is not necessary for this class) Brushes: Whatever brushes artists already have home, is fine, but I really recommend bringing at least one natural bristle medium and small sized flat (or bright, with a chiseled, square tip) and one medium and small sized filbert (flat, but slightly rounded tip). Supports: Painting panels or stretched canvases of the artist's choice. These can be student level supports or even gessoed board.

EAL Pastel: Supply list and Description This class is designed to introduce students to pastel techniques used in realizing a variety of subjects: still-life, landscape, floral arrangements, the portrait head (two sessions -one from photos, one from a live model) and the clothed figure. This class will include several demonstrations, as well as figure slides to develop "seeing" and freedom of strokes in drawing; use of the color wheel; and the importance of light in painting. Students need as large an assortment of pastel colors as they can afford since color-mixing is not as simple as in other media, every color is important. Design Nupastel, Rembrandt, and Grumbacher (no longer being made, but sometimes a few sets are available) are good reasonably priced brands. Alpha colors are NOT recommended because their colors are limited, weak, and not readily compatible with other brands. Also be sure that you do not purchase OIL PASTELS; we will use only soft pastels. Most of these sets are available at Makielski’s (Mishawaka 1-800-688-0038), or Daniel Smith, Seattle (1-800-426-7923).
Rochester Art Supply 1-800-836-8940 Dick Blick 1-800-828-4548 Cheap Joe’s 1-800-227-2788 Dakota Art Pastels 1-888-345-0067 Pearl 1-800-451-PEARL (Mt. Vernon, Washington) AWS 1-800- 995-6778 Jerry’s 1-800-U-ARTIST (Art Supply Warehouse) Try to get eight sheets of good quality PASTEL paper in middle value colors. Canson Mi-tient is preferred became of its strength and its ability to hold pastel colors. SUGGESTED COLORS: #354 Sky Blue, #426 Moonstone, #429 Felt Gray, and #431 Steel Gray. This paper comes in sheets 20" x 26". For the most part, we will be using half sheets @ 13" x 20" (because of the time element). It is available at the above businesses (none local that I’m aware of). DO NOT PURCHASE WHITE PAPER, NOR ANY BRIGHT COLORS APPROACHING WHITE. WHITE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH IN PASTEL, AND SHOULD NOT BE USED WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE EXPERIENCE. Students need a drawing board of some rigid, untextured material (such as masonite) which is about an inch larger than the paper. Also at least 4 spring clips, and/or masking tape to hold the paper on the board. A kneaded eraser, workable fixative (to be used outdoors), newsprint - as large as your largest paper - may be helpful, but are not necessary for this class. There will be photographs available to work from; however, IF YOU PREFER TO WORK FROM YOUR OWN MATERIAL, USE ENLARGEMENT OR LASER-PRINTS AT LEAST 5" X 7", PREFERABLY 8" X 10". 3" x 5"’s are too tiny to get the measurements and details you will need. Supplies for Water Media Class taught by Julie ManfrediSuggested sources: Local: Hobby Lobby or Michaels PAPER: Watercolor: Cold Press 140# or 200# Waterford, Arches,
