Supplies
Set of soft pastels with a good variety of dark, medium, and light colors (no oil pastels or nu pastels). The brands I use are Unison, Rembrandt, Sennelier, and Jack Richeson soft pastels.
If interested (but not necessary for the workshop), I have designed a pastel set for Jack Richeson Co. called Desmond O'Hagan Essential Pastels which can be purchased at Dakota Arts and Judson Art Outfitters:
