Join Julie for a 3 - week session of pastel painting. We will be working with a series this session and exploring how color choices affect the mood and emotion of a painting. As always, we will be reviewing mark making, value and composition. 

A video demo will be emailed one week before we meet to prep for each class.

SUPPLY LIST 
A set of soft pastels (artist grade quality). It’s good to have a variety of colors and different values of each color. I use a variety of pastels from a harder stick to a softer stick. Some of my favorite brands include Rembrandt, Girault, Terry Ludwig, and Unison. 

If you are are a beginner and buying pastels for the first time, I recommend a set of 60 half stick Rembrandt soft pastels or Richeson pastels. Online sets are usually cheaper at dickblick.com, amazon.com or dakotapastels.com
I use UArt 400 archival sanded paper or LuxArchival sanded paper. I sell sheets for $5 or you can purchase online at dakotapastels.com. I have some samples of Canson Mi-tientes that you can try for free. It’s not a sanded paper but many people like this as well. Any other paper that you prefer is fine as well. 

Foam board for backing (Hobby Lobby or Walgreens, CVS) Weber’s Odorless Turpenoid (blue and white container) or rubbing alcohol from your local hardware store 

An inexpensive 1” flat brush for underpainting 
Masking tape 
Paper towels 
Small sketchbook and pencils Online art supply stores have the best deals for buying materials. 
dakotapastels.com, jerrysartarama.com, dickblick.com, madisonartshop.com, Amazon.com 

Other optional, but not required items that I like to use Derwent Pencil Sketching Wallet – perfect for keeping all of your sketching supplies in one place
