Course Description

Pastels are versatile, immediate and opaque (correctable). This one day workshop is for all levels. We will work on color and loosening up. Under painting techniques will also be explored. Bring your lunch, your enthusiasm and your pastels!

Required Supplies

SUGGESTED (bring what you want but here are some recommendations)
PASTELS:
Bring set of soft or hard pastels (any brand or mix - Sennelier, Unison, Terry Ludwig, NuPastels, etc...) (NOT oil)
PAPER:
Please bring paper of your choice. Prefer a SANDED Paper such as Wallis, Art Spectrum, Dakota, UART, etc… If your local art supply store doesn’t have it Amazon generally has a quick turnaround. Type in SANDED PASTEL PAPER, if using UART I recommend 400 or 500 grits. Sanded paper will give you more room for error and it has a coated backing which will work well with the alcohol.
BRUSH:
Soft medium sized watercolor brush (this brush should only be used for pastels) Small approx. ½ - 3/4 inch or 1-inch soft brush.
TAPE:
Artists Tape or Blue Tape (painters tape)
MEDIUM:
Isopropyl alcohol (group can buy and share)
And glass jar or plastic container to hold Isopropyl alcohol
ADDITIONAL:
1. Latex Gloves or Glove lotion (“Gloves in a Bottle” or any mechanic’s barrier cream from Pep Boys or auto parts store also works nicely)
2. Blending Stumps or Tortillons (again you can buy and share a package of them)
3. Sketching Board with clip to hold paper
