Materials List/ Robert Carsten Workshop

Pastels: Bring any you have. 
If you do not have any:  I advise as large a set (96 is the largest) of NuPastels as your budget allows.
Optional: a set of half or full sized sticks of medium soft pastels such as Rembrandt, Art Spectrum or Mt. Vision etc.
Optional: a set of half or full sized sticks of very soft pastels such as Sennelier (half sticks recommended), Schmincke, Great American or Unison, etc.

Paper:
Sheets or pad of either sanded paper (such as Pastel Premier,  Art Spectrum Colourfix, Richeson, or U-Art) or  sheets or pad of pastel paper such as Canson (Mi-Teintes) or smooth watercolor paper. Average use is one or two sheets per day.
Sheets or pad of sketch paper to pencil sketch on.

Please bring reference sketches or photos related to the workshop's subject that you wish to work from (Landsapes). Bring a variety if you can. The instructor will have some photos to use should you need one. We'll be working from photos with a series of color exercises to explore potential color solutions.
