SUPPLY LIST
Brands are not important, but a link is included if you are looking for an "easy button" or suggested brands. I selected good but cost effective options. You can always upgrade to fancier supplies, but I encourage you to use what you already have at home! Often you can also find what you need at the dollar or craft store without spending a lot.
- pencil
- eraser
- paper towels or wipes for messy hands
- pastel paper: Or any paper with a rougher surface. Construction paper can work too! It does not need to be white paper. Cream paper is used in the example.
- chalk pastels: black, white, brown, yellow, dark green, light green (optional), light blue or other preferred color for background
To purchase art supplies online, here is a handy link with all of the suggested supplies. Some items come in bulk packs so you will have enough for many art projects. You may edit the list to suit your needs, or view for ideas and purchase elsewhere: Blick Art Materials
