Q: “I don’t have time to get everything before the first class, what do I need first?!”<\/strong><\/p>\n A: No problem!<\/strong>\u00a0And it’s not a bad idea to talk to me in class about what materials we will need, some of the substitutions possible, and why. And it can be tough sometimes on a busy schedule to come up with everything you’ll need for the course. This is a short list that will cover the key items, must have first class materials:<\/p>\n ♦ Some Prismacolor Col-Erase\u00ae Colored Pencils, the come in box sets and loose individuals, I recommend at last 6, a set of two blue, two orange or green, and two red. A couple black as well are a good idea. Montreal can be a frustrating town to source some things in, but I’ve investigated a few stores locally, and included a list of shops at the end here I think I can recommend, but I can’t guarantee things will be in stock. Call ahead before you go to the shops to see what they have.<\/p>\n Dynamic Drawing Materials List<\/p>\n Pens and mark making tools<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Corrections! making changes and fixing stuff tools!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Papers!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n We will use a lot, you’ll want to make sure you stock up.\u00a0The paper you use for dynamic studies can be cheep, but it needs to be decent, and most importantly\u00a0smooth<\/span> paper! Here’s my\u00a0recommended\u00a0list.<\/em><\/p>\n Where to get it all!??<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n A great MTL art coop is\u00a0La Cohop Saint-Laurent des Arts<\/a>. They have some great prices and stock nearly everything on my list here and then some, Including the Pentel Water Brushes I love the most and both the Pentel Pocket Brush and Art Brush pens. This is a art store you really want to get to know. Prices with a membership are very competitive with all other shops in town.<\/p>\n I use Jetpens<\/a> for links in several places, for some of the options they are one of the few really reliable suppliers but can take a while to deliver, a month is normal. Local art store options include\u00a0DeSerres<\/a>\u00a0all over town, and a few others. But I always recomend to call ahead or check their sites before heading out, to see who has what in stock where?\u00a0La Boutique des ARTS de la Coop UQAM<\/a>\u00a0is pretty good, and a one time membership feel means their prices are a tad cheaper than DeSerres generally after. And around the corner from it in the same building, is\u00a0Librairie Jasmin co-op UQAM<\/a>! Great for things like the Gell Pens and Presto Correction Pens.<\/p>\n Brush pens and nice sketchbooks can also be found usually at Au Papier Japonais<\/a>, and Nota Bene Papeterie<\/a>\u00a0has some very nice sketchbooks and a great selection of pens!\u00a0Encadrements Des C\u00e8dres<\/a> is not bad but has a limited selection. I hear\u00a0Avenue Des Arts<\/a> in Westmount can be good, Kama Pigment<\/a> for pencils and paints and a small drawing supply section, and if you’re a student at\u00a0concordia they have a decent\u00a0Art Supply Store<\/a> worth checking out too. Again I suggest calling ahead for all of these to see who has the things you need before visiting them, saves time. Also several of the items, like gel pens, mechanical pencils and correction pens, can be sourced at places like\u00a0Staples<\/a>!<\/p>\n This, is a photo of my own tools\u00a0with\u00a0most of the things listed.<\/p>\n Q: “I don’t have time to get everything before the first class, what do I need first?!” A: No problem!\u00a0And it’s not a bad idea to talk to me in class about what materials we will need, some of the substitutions possible, and why.

\n♦ A good pencil sharpener or exacto knife\/box cutter to sharpen them with! One that does not break your tips. Try them at the shop. Some of the best for cheep are the small metal models.
\n♦ Erasers; One kneadable & One white plastic. You will want both!
\n♦3-4 18\u201dx24\u201d Cartridge paper pads! \u2013 you can use newsprint but only if it\u2019s smooth, not the rough kind. Really you will get far better results from white Cartridge paper pads! Again, smooth here makes a difference.
\n♦ One Large [9\u201dx12\u201d or larger] sketchbook, or pad of SMOOTH paper. Not a “sketch” pad, something like fine marker paper is much better. And one small pocket or purse sized sketchbook for sketching while out and about. Again, Smooth paper is important!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
