All students will need to have these materials:
- photograph of a horse (you can use photos you've taken yourself if you have any or photos you find online, in magazines, in books, or you can use a photo from my reference photos attached) 
- white paper  (typing paper is fine for the warm-up exercises)
- pencil (HB, assorted, or mechanical)
-kneaded eraser
-pink plastic eraser

From the lists below, you only need to have the materials for the medium you choose to use during class.  If you will be working in pencil only you do not need to purchase anything in addition to the materials on the list above.  
FOR *PASTELS:
-pastel pencils 
-*soft and hard pastels 
-soft vine charcoal
- grey paper for charcoal and pastel or toned grey paper pad

FOR CHARCOAL:
-charcoal pencil
-white pencil (pastel pencil, these often come in the pack with charcoal pencils)
-soft vine charcoal
-pencil sharpener designed for pastel pencils
- toned gray or tan sketch paper is essential for charcoal

FOR COLORED PENCIL:
-colored pencils 
-  optional: toned gray or tan sketch paper.  You may use white paper if you prefer it. 
-  optional:  electric pencil sharpeners work so much better for me than the handheld sharpeners, but a special purchase of the electric sharpener is not needed for this class 

Please let me know if you have any questions about the needed materials.  

*Some colors of colored pencil and pastel are labeled toxic (generally if ingested or the dust is breathed) so please read the labels.
