Material List
- Dry Color Pencils: Prismacolor Color Pencils. The BEST pencils for dry work and this brand is widely available. I recommend a minimum 12 pencil set, but may prefer a 24 or 36 set.
NOTE: Blick Art Supply online (DickBlick.com) has Prismacolor sets on sale from $10-20 per set, a great price!!! The Caran d’ Ache pencil sets are on sale starting at $23.00
- Water-Soluble Color Pencils: Best – Caran d’ Ache Supracolor Soft Aquarelle. I recommend a minimum set of 12. This is the number one water-soluble pencil brand I use, but it is more expensive. Prismacolor and Derwent brands also have water-soluble pencil options for a lower cost, but there is a difference in results.
All other supplies will be included in the workshop but you are encouraged to bring any additional drawing supplies you may have, graphite pencils, kneaded erasers, paper, etc. Please bring a drawing board if you prefer working on one.
