• Soft Pastels
    • Set of 60 - 80 good quality soft pastels - my favorites are Schminche and Sennelier for softness.
    • Schminche makes a set of 60 half sticks and Sennelier makes a set of 80 half sticks.
    • Rembrandt is also good, but a little harder.
  • Nupastels
    • 12 or 24 color set, or larger

    • Two #2354 Sepia crayons
    • One #617 Sepia pencil
  • Charcoal
    • Several sticks of thin, soft and ½" thick, soft vine charcoal and an extra-soft charcoal pencil.
  • Paper
    • Several sheets of good quality pastel paper. Examples are:
      • Canson Mi-Teintes in light, muted colors
