9x12 sheet of un-sanded pastel paper such as Canson Mi tientes, Artagain Strathmore or sketching paper. I will have some available for purchase. It can be a colored sheet as that will serve as a back ground color for the portrait.
Set of 60 pastel pencils: Carbothello or Faber Castel Pitt Pastel pencils available online through Dick Blick or Jerrysartarama.
Pencil sharpening tools such as a snap off utility knife or a quality new manual pencil sharpener (caution: sometimes these may cause pastel leads to break as the blades get old). Medium or fine sand paper.
Kneaded eraser or poster tack. White soft eraser.
Masking Tape to tape paper to board
Graphite pencil for tracing subject.
Smooth hard backing board to attach your paper to. A 11x14 or larger is a good size for a 9x12 sheet of paper.
