Material List
- Dry Color Pencils: Professional grade color pencils are a must! Prismacolor brand is preferred
due to blending capabilities and availability in local stores; invest in the largest set you can
afford. Blick Art Supply has incredible discounts online at DickBlick.com, and also available
in stores. If you have another brand such as Derwent, FaberCastel, etc., feel free to use what
you already have in stock. - Water-Soluble Color Pencils: Professional grade color pencils are a must! Caran D’ Ache
Supracolor Soft Aquarelle pencils are highly recommended, a small set will go a long way.
Water-soluble pencils are used sparingly and mostly for base layers, so a large set is not
necessary. Available online at DickBlick.com and in stores. - Stonehedge Drawing Paper – White: The BEST paper for color pencil; available in pads or
large single sheets at Blick Art Supply. Note: Extra Stonehedge paper will be supplied for
practicing in class. - Photo: Please do not choose animals, or high reflective or glossy objects (glass, porcelain,
etc.); highly recommend a simple subject and composition. - Small drawing board.
- Any additional drawing supplies you normally use. If you have a desktop Ottlite, please
bring it along. - Graphite drawing: Drawing must be very light, using an ebony pencil is preferred but if you
tend to draw dark, use a 2H/4H but be careful not to press hard and indent the paper. - Pencil sharpeners, kneaded erasers, extra drawing paper, and additional drawing supplies
provided. Please contact me for any questions at KStraukasArt@gmail.com.
