Note from Instructor: This class is designed around using what you already have. There is no required brand list and no expectation to purchase specialty supplies.
Drawing Surface:
- Choose one surface you’re comfortable drawing on:
- Sketchbook
- Loose drawing paper
- Journal or notebook
- Mixed media paper (Any size is fine. Smooth or lightly textured paper both works.)
Drawing Tools: (Bring whatever you prefer to sketch with, including Graphite pencils)
- Pens or fine liners
- Colored pencils Any combination of the above There is no “right” tool for this class —
- Part of the learning is discovering what works best for you.

Important Note for Students: This is a drawing-focused class. We will spend time observing, sketching, and building drawing habits rather than finishing polished pieces. Comfort, curiosity, and consistency matter more than supplies.
