Patty Forte Linna Supply List

For Pastel Painting:

" -A set of SOFT PASTEL STICKS as large as the student is able to acquire. (No Oil Pastels)

" -At least one of each of the following colors: black, white and gray, in either the soft pastels, Nu-pastels or pastel pencils for a value study project.

" -Two sheets of sanded pastel paper, any type that the student prefers.

" -BACKBOARDS on which to mount your pastel paper at the easel. Foam Core, masonite and plywood all make good backboards. (1/8" to 1/4"). If cutting a board, cut slightly larger than the size of paper you intend to work on. Cardboard will not be sturdy enough.

" An old medium-size bristle oil/acrylic paint brush. We'll use it to take pastel off our paintings for special effects.

" -Something to mount your paper to the backboard/foam core. You can use accountant's LEDGER CLIPS and/or bulldog clips or 1 inch masking tape.

" -A portable EASEL that tilts forward. Table easels are also good. If you are traveling and/or can't afford one, you can work with your paper on the flat table surface.

" -A can of spray workable FIXATIVE. (For those flying in, you can omit this and borrow from local students)

" *Paper Towels

" *Apron or overshirt that can get dirty.

" *****Photos to paint from****
