Materials list for portrait drawing and painting:

The best art supply store on the island is an art store by the name of Hawaiian Graphics. You can purchase everything there EXCEPT the Nitram charcoal sticks.

What you will need on day 1

• Nitram charcoal H, HB, B (Nitram is the brand name of the charcoal. You can either purchase these from ZAFA on the first day of class, or order them online at https://www.dickblick.com/products/nitram-academie-fusains-charcoal/ )

• White chalk pencil ("Le Blanc" is a good brand)

• Gray toned drawing paper. "Canson" is a pastel paper brand that works well for charcoal drawing.

  The one you want is:
