Optional - If you decide to order pencils online I suggest also ordering an extra White pencil
or two and a Pomegranate, Scarlet Lake, Black Grape, Yellow Chartreuse, and Copenhagen
Blue from Open Stock (the Yellow Chartreuse and Copenhagen Blue are in the set of 72).
You might also want a Colorless Blender. I do not use the colorless blender much, but some
of my students love it. I can show you what it does.

Solvent - Rubbing Alcohol and a cheap paint brush and/or some Q-tips. There are many
other solvents used with colored pencils, but this is the easiest to get and least expensive.

Sharpener - Another thing you might want to get is a battery powered pencil sharpener
with a stainless steel helical blade. It makes life easier.

OR you can use a small hand held blade sharpener - 
Lifting and erasing - I also use pencil top erasers and stik tak/adhesive putty/poster
putty/mounting putty for erasing, lifting and shading. Also bring a small roll of scotch tape
and masking tape for lifting.

Surfaces - I will sell the papers we use to you at my cost. I do this because many of the
papers are in pads of 25 sheets or cut up from a large sheet of 32" x 40". It makes it less
expensive for you. The cost will be determined at a later date, but is usually under $3.50 all
together.

Transfer paper - Drawings are transferred using white transfer and graphite paper. You
can get individual sheets of graphite and white. I will have some sheets for shared student
use in class.
