Colored Pencil Supply List
Pad of drawing paper, Strathmore 400 series or something similar, 11 x 14-good quality. I also really like Fabriano
Artistico Hot Press paper (140 lb) available in 22 x30 sheets which you can cut into four sheets.
Kneaded eraser
Graphite drawing pencils, H or HB
Hand held pencil sharpener and something for shavings (the little gold metal ones that look like pineapples are the
best)
Colored Pencils:
If you already have good quality colored pencils (Prismacolors, Lyra Rembrandt, Derwent, Faber-Castell, Caran
d’Ache) bring them. Otherwise, it is better to buy the pencils we need individually. Do not buy student grade
pencils. Please don’t bring Crayola Pencils. They are too hard to get nice color and you will be frustrated. If you
already own watercolor pencils bring them. We may get a chance to play with them. You will need the following basic
colors. Call me if you have questions about the pencils. Nina, (707) 237-7014, [email protected]

“If nothing else, the years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll be tempted to start using it.”…Paul Auster
