Saturday July 21,2007

Pastels
Soft pastels: Schminke, Great American Artworks, Sennelier, Unison
Medium hardness pastels: Rembrandt, Art Spectrum, Winsor and Newton
Hard pastels: Holbein, Nupastel
Please call with any questions.

Buy individual pastels. (Full sets contain many colors you will never use. It’s cheaper to buy what you need.) You may buy them loose from an art supply store or from a catalog. If you order from a catalog try The Jerry’s Catalog or Dakota Art Pastels.Rembrandts are much less expensive than the other brands, but they are also not as saturated in pigments. I personly use Rembrants for the underpainting and then switch to the rich, saturated soft pastels. I particularly love and rely on Sennelier and Unison. Please bring any additional pastels you have from home. Make sure that the colors that you buy or bring are lightfast.  You will need a wide range of values. If you are buying your first pastels, buy every other number of a particular color. For instance, Rembrant, Ultramarine Deep 506,10, 506,8, 506,7, 506,5. Do not buy any of the darkest Rembrants (any number with a suffix ,3). These colors have black added in.
Do not buy all the colors listed below. Do feel free to add any additional colors to what is listed below. You will need some warm and cool colors and a range of light to dark values of white, red, blue, yellow, orange, green, violet, and brown.
Suggested Rembrant colors: Lemon Yellow, Deep Yellow, Permanent Rose, Red Violet Deep, Blue Violet, Ultramarine Deep, Phathalo Blue, BurntSienna, Raw Umber, Burnt Umber.
Suggested Sennelier: Van Dyck Brown, Lemon Yellow, Naples Yellow, Ruby Red, Chromium Green, Leaf Green, Cerulean Blue
Suggested Unison: (Unison has very brilliant dark colors that have not had black added to them.) Blue Violet 12, Blue Violet 18, Brown Green Earth 14, 16, 18
Schminke: 17 066 069D xxxx Prussian Blue

Storage
Pastels need to be packed tightly and surrounded by foam. If there is room for them to shift or roll, they will break into pieces or turn into  dust. You may make your own foam container using pencil containers and foam, use the foam containers the pastels came in, or save time and try Roz Pastel Bag. To bring more colors or to cut down on weight, break each stick in half. Leave the half with the pigment’s name and i.d. number at home and bring the other half. Tape, or use rubber bands, the container shut. Do not depend solely on the fasteners to keep it closed.Wrap your pastel box in a plastic trash bag to help prevent dust escaping into your luggage. Bring another bag larger than the two pieces of cardboard listed above for your painting.Pastel sticks look a lot like bullets, so be prepared to have your luggage searched. Make them easily accessible to airport security.

Paper
$5.00 supply fee for a handmade surface, gessoed with Golden’s Fine Pumice Gel and underpainted with acrylic paint.
