Pens: Uniball pens; black and white, Micron pens; .005, .01, .02, .05 various sizes

Pencils:  soft lead drawing pencils; HB, 2B, 4B, 6B  (the higher the number the darker)

Prisma-colored pencils various skin colors. Use what colored pencils you have.

Kneaded eraser

Charcoal supplies; Willow charcoal sticks. We will ground up some into powder in the mortar and pestle.   Small chamois.  General charcoal pencils; in various soft lead such as HB, 2B, 4B, 6B.  You can try the Primo euro blend, charcoal pencils 3B (they have a very dark lead).   General compressed charcoal.  Kneaded eraser.   A used paintbrush to use in powdered charcoal.  I use an old Filbert brush about 3/8”.  Paper towels.

Paint supplies:  Golden brand Heavy body White Titanium Paint.   We don’t use much white so if you have another brand that is fine.

Payne’s Grey: in Golden, heavy body paint.  This color is only found in the Golden brand.  It resembles a navy.  Caution:  It’s the new black!

Gesso to prime your surface of choice: paper, canvas, wooden panel board.  Gesso-ing gives a good surface to paint on.  I find if you use the canvases without Gesso they really pull at the paint.  Use an old brush to apply the gesso.

Two brushes 3/8” and 1/8” I use a filbert. Use a water mister to mist paint to keep the paint moist so it doesn’t dry out as fast.  Rag.
