ART 88.6 Section Number: 1003
Mendocino College, Lake Center
Instructor: Lorraine Brady Arthur
Supplies may be purchased at Mendocino College Bookstore, Rileystreet Art Supply (phone: 526-2416, 103 Maxwell Ct., Santa Rosa ), Village Art Supply (behind Rosses, Montgomery Village in Santa Rosa), or order online or by catalogue at such retailers as Dick Blick, Cheap Joe's, or many others.
Soft Pastels (chalk-like) Buy the largest set you can afford - minimum of 24 -30, but prefer a minimum set of 72 or larger. For those on a limited budget, half sticks are available in some brands’ sets affording students more colors for less money or a better quality set. Also, pastel sticks may be purchased individually to fill in missing colors, but generally will cost more than the same sticks purchased in a set.
Economical Brands:
Nu Pastels, by Prismacolor (fairly hard, dustless full size stick - 60 set approx. $55.00 / 96 set approx. $88.00)
Faber-Castel (72 set half sticks approx. $25.00)
Better brands include:
Holbein (harder than average, nice muted, natural colors- well priced) Rembrandt (90 color half stick approx. $75.00 and up. Great all around pastel. I have the wood box with 250 sticks that I mostly use in any pastel painting. Medium hardness, no heavy metal pigments, but pure pigment mixed with finest quality kaolin clay binder)
Winsor & Newton (72 full sticks $139.00 and up. Rembrandt’s are a better deal!)
Rowney
Professional & More Expensive:
Sennelier (80 half sticks for approx. $84.00 and up - excellent! No fillers, clays and minimal binder, rich pigments)
Schmincke (buttery! excellent and expensive! individual sticks around $3.99) Unison (Excellent, expensive at $3.69 a stick. Many pro’s prefer this pastel.)
Diane Townsend (Many pros love these pastels for the purity of pigment with no chalks or fillers. $5.19 a piece at Dick Blick)
