Pastels
Instructor: Kimberly Miller
Soft Pastels (i.e.: Prismacolor NuPastels, Rembrandt, and Grumbacher)
(Minimum of 12 pack with primary and secondary colors)
Unlike oil paints, where you can do fine with under a dozen tube colors, pastels cannot be mixed together, only on the paper (in overlapping marks). This means that you really need to have more than 10 colors. Starting with 12 is good to begin, it is suggested buying single sticks, one or two at a time, until you have the colors you need.
Optional: Pastel pencils (usually come in sets) these will be useful for line details but not necessary at the beginning of pastes.
Note: Oil pastels are a somewhat different medium than the above-listed materials, and are not covered in these lessons. (They are more like crayons – hard, and not blendable like regular pastels, but if you already have your set, you are welcome to use them in addition to the soft pastels until you find which works best for you.)
Paper: Special paper for pastels is widely available, and has a “tooth” designed to capture the little bits of pastel pigment to create the image. Three excellent pastel paper brands are Canson Ingres, Mi Teintes and Strathmore charcoal/pastel paper. Charcoal paper can also be used; it comes in pads of 9 by 12 inches and 12 by 18 inches in assorted pastel colors. Preference is either white or grey for this class.
Note: Pastel materials tend to be expensive, so look for sales at either of these web sites or local art stores: www.dickblick.com or www.ultrechtart.com.

Introduction to Oil Painting
Instructor: Randy Pitts
Paint: Student or artist grade oil paint 37ml or 40ml tube size -- titanium white, cadmium yellow lemon or cadmium yellow pale, ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson, burnt sienna, phthalo or sap green (optional), cadmium orange or permanent red medium, yellow ochre, ivory black. A starter set is fine.
Brushes: Hog bristles in either flats, brights or filberts. Sizes 10 or 8, 6, 4, 2. One small "rigger" brush (for fine lines). Do not buy the cheap value pack brushes; they don't last.
Medium: Linseed oil, small bottle.
Solvent: Odorless Turpenoid (do not buy odorless mineral spirits, it still smells).
Solvent container: A sealable metal solvent container/brush cleaner or metal palette cups or a small, sealable glass jar. Do not use a plastic container; the solvent will dissolve it.
Palette: A wood palette, disposable paper palette pad or glass palette. Warning: Glass ones will break if dropped. If you buy a wood palette, prepare it by rubbing a little linseed oil into it several times over a few days and then let dry before using.
Metal Palette Knife
Canvas or supports: Any pre-stretched, already primed canvas. Canvas panels or gessoboard (brand: Ampersand). Canvas pads are OK, but since they aren't backed, they may be hard to work with. Sizes: 8"x10" or larger.
First Class: bring an 8"x10" or 9"x12" canvas panel
Paper towels or rags
Plastic grocery bags (for trash)
A bag, tote or storage box to carry your supplies: Plastic milk crate, plastic storage bin or cardboard box.
You will get paint on yourself: Wear old clothes or buy an artist's apron.
