SUPPLY LIST:
I’ve included a materials video to discuss all the supplies I will use throughout the class.
Canson XL Mixed Media Paper 98lb 9x12
The black PanPastel is the heart of the class. It is different than charcoal as it is softer and extra fine. It lays down smoother and lifts beautifully. This product only costs around $6, and I think it’s worth the investment. Plus, it’s an amazing way to explore the medium inexpensively, as I will be showing you its unlimited possibilities.
PanPastel Sofft Tools - Knife and Covers, No. 3 Oval
PanPastel Sofft Tools - Mini Applicators, Pkg of 12
These Sofft Tools are worth trying out. They have been specifically designed with PanPastel and are made of special high-density foam. They allow me to create more detail than makeup sponges.
PanPastel Sofft Tools - Art Sponge Bar, Mix, Pkg of 4 (optional)
These are optional. The larger Soft Tools help with quicker coverage and give you a variety of mark-making. I also love the starter pack.
Golden Fluid Acrylics - Iridescent Gold (Fine)
This gold paint is truly magical, and I love its opaqueness and how much it shimmers! Worth trying out!
White Erasers
Mono Zero Pen Eraser by Tombow is my favorite! Remember refills.
Kneaded Eraser is important as I use it to pull out my highlights.
Acurit Vanish Four-In-One Eraser
I use this larger eraser to cut up and make custom shapes for mark-making. A similar white eraser you can cut up should work fine.
My favorite one is uni Kuro Toga .5
