Supply List

• Sketch pad and pencil.  A 6B pencil would do or one with a soft graphite.

Sources for Pastels and paper:

Terry Ludwig Studios, local, has a basic value assortment of pastels or you may pick from open stock.  A small selection of paper is also available,  303 795 1232.  His pastels are my favorite.  Meininger’s and Guiry’s also carry pastels and paper.  I like Canson paper, smaller sizes around 8 X 10 in neutral colors and black if you want to give it a try.  Bring a few sheets of Canson and any other pastel paper you might want to try.  Some papers will also be available at the workshop.

 Try to arrive early around 9:15 to get settled before class begins.  Wait to set up your pastels until after the initial lecture.

Looking forward to seeing you, Jane
