People are always asking
what specific materials I use and where do I get them, so I've decided to add

month from now.

PASTELS
I recommend that each
workshop artist have a full set of hard pastels and at least 90 pieces
of a softer brand like Rembrandt, Girault, Mount Vision or Blockx. For
soft accents in the studio use an 80 piece 1/2 stick set of Sennelier.
I use many brands of
pastels from hard to soft.
The ones that I use most often are:
Cretacolor (under painting)
Prismacolor Pastels (formerly Grumbacher)
Girault
Blockx (my new standard set)
Diane Townsend (great greens)
80 piece 1/2 stick set of Sennelier (good accents but I don't take them on
location)
For my surface I use only Kitty Wallis Sand Paper mounted on board and
some surfaces I make myself. I mostly use the white surface but
sometimes use the Belgian Mist tone.
Pastels and Wallis paper:

several different easels and boxes for various situations.
