1. Assortment of both softer and harder dry pastels in colors suitable for painting landscapes. Rembrandt, Nupastels are some of the harder brands. Unison, Terry Ludwig, Great American Artworks, Sennelier, Mount Vision are examples of softer brands. We will use harder pastels for the underpainting and paint the rest with softer pastels. If you are new to soft (dry) pastels you will be doing most of your work with harder pastels.
