In order for me to easily find and answer queries about this Lesson I will appreciate it if everyone will keep these to this specific Lesson Posting only. This will also be of benefit to you as well in the future. Thanks

Dennis,
I have signed up for the Pastels classes, because I would like to see what they are like. I don't have any Pastels
What is the basics that I can do these classes with? Not sure what to buy and am on a Very Limited Budget (Really)!
I have spent my $$$ on Oils and WaterColors and Pencils

Thank you Dennis and Nolan for these free pastel lessons which you have so generously gifted to us. Bless you. I have booked the two lessons and am looking forward, although with a little trepidation, to learning about this medium. Patricia

Sue, this is just a recommended list and not by all means that you have to have the lot straight away. Buy as you need - this will only come as you progress with the classes.
I certainly don't want anyone to go out and buy a lot of pastel equipment only to find that in the end they do not like it.
Extract from PDF:
Starter
(for those who are not yet sure about pastels)
Small set of soft pastels (20 to 30 pieces)
Paper - We will use the same watercolour paper as we used for the watercolour lessons. For you who want to go further, I will demonstrate on various other kinds of paper such as Canson Mi Teintes, Matboard, Colorfix (special sandpaper),etc.
Pastel/pencil Fixative (some pastel artists never use fixative)
Small craft knife and/or fine sandpaper
Putty Rubber or similar. (Brown Bread works well)
Small bristle brush (#2 or #3)
Charcoal pencil or charcoal stick (preferable above normal graphite pencils)
Kitchen Roll
Damp cloth for wiping the hands.
Dry cloth.

Dennis,
Actually I have almost all of that except the Pastels and Putty Rubber 'Brown Bread', is that a brand, or am I going to use pumpernickel?
