Pencils:
The key is to have a variety of pencil weights, from light to dark. Any brand will work, I do prefer Grafwood (Caran d’ Ache) or Derwent. I recommend bringing:
- H
- 2B
- 4B
- 6B
- 7B
- 8B
- 9B
- Utility knife
- Sandpaper block
- Kneaded eraser
- Large art stumps an/ or chamois cloth
- Sketchbook / small loose paper to work on
- Clips for attaching paper to drawing board
Paper:
If you have a type of paper you prefer to use please bring it! I will also bring a few types of paper to discuss in class. I recommend 2 pieces of smooth drawing paper, white/ cream, medium in size ( around 12/16/18 inches ).
Best brands:
- Fabriano
- Strathmore
- Stonehenge
- Canson
