The great thing about nagomi art and soft pastel art is that you can get started even on a shoestring budget.
These bare essentials are all that you need to begin experiencing the therapeutic effects of finger painting.
The bare essentials
- Smooth white paper 15cmx15cm (at least 165gsm)
- Soft pastel (any brand)
- Sieve, penknife or any credit card (to scrape the soft pastel into powder)
- Palette to scrape soft pastels onto (any plastic surface will do)
- Normal eraser
- Art eraser (soft, kneadable type)
- Damp cloth to clean your fingers
Apart from these, there are some other items which I frequently use.
Though completely optional, some of them will enhance the effects that you can create of your artwork.
Hence I do recommend getting them if pastel nagomi art is something you see yourself pursuing as a passion.
Other items (optional, but recommended to have)
- Masking tape of 12mm to 15mm in width
- Basic stencil
- 0.23mm Mono Zero eraser
- Charcoal pencil (preferred) or 6B pencil
- Pastel colour pencils (preferred) or watercolour pencils
- A5 size tracing paper (preferred) or regular paper
- Scissors
- Small ruler
- Cotton bud
- Pastel fixative spray
Thank you!!1

I’ve bought my starter kit from Popular Bookstore this afternoon. There was a promotion during its Book Fest period. So I bought more paper. Saved $10.60 💪😊
Thank you, Tr Ruyan for this post. It’s very useful for beginners like me. I’m excited to start…on my retirement lifestyle earlier than expected – while I’m still working ðŸ˜
Hi Ai Seok,

Yes, start immersing yourself in this wonderful art even before your retirement! 🙂
