What to bring:
Sites to order from include dickblick.com, jerrysartarama.com, and dakotapastels.com Frantic Framer in Quincy has some large ArtSpectrum sheets that they will cut up for you, but very basic pastel sets. Check out Amazon as well for UArt paper, and Faber Castell and Sennelier pastels.
Descriptions of various pastels and paper:
SOFT PASTELS
Harder pastels work well for underpaintings and for adding some detail. Softer pastels are better for smudging, swiping and scumbling but will fill tooth of paper faster. Having both is ideal.
Better Quality Pastels = better colors + better results, but more expensive
SANDED PAPERS
