Colored Pencils:

If you good quality colored pencils (Prismacolors, Lyra, Derwent, Faber-Castell, Caran d’Ache) bring them.  Otherwise, it is better to buy the pencils we need individually. Do not buy student grade pencils. Please don’t bring Crayola Pencils. They are too hard to get nice color and you will be frustrated. If you already own watercolor pencils bring them. We may get a chance to play with them. You will need the following basic colors.
