Notan supplies
Here are supplies for notan studies. Important: Try to get these specific brands as we have often found
that other types of pens and paper can cause students major difficulties in
doing Notan studies. You can also use some gray (middle value, 50% gray) pastel or charcoal paper and a black and white pastel stick.
- Tombow brush pens
- Pastels
- Sketch books
Get Tombow N65 ( a middle value cool gray 5), Tombow N75 (a light value cool gray 3), and Tombow N15 (a pure black).

You can also use pastels. For the middle gray, use Pentel oil pastels Gray #26 (or any other type of pastel). Also use a black pastel stick, and if you are using gray paper, use a white pastel stick.
Strathmore Drawing 400 Series medium 80lb 4”X 6” sketchbook.
This is a good fairly heavy weight paper that does not buckle and takes the ink in the Tombow brush pens very well. If you are using pastels, use a middle gray value charcoal paper since it is easier to use than white paper.
