PanPastel 20 Colour Set - Pure Colours / Painting Set

Product Information

PanPastel Ultra Soft Artist Pastels are made using a unique manufacturing process requiring a minimal amount of binder. This results in ultra-soft, low dust and rich, pure colours. Each of the colours in the PanPastel collection are intermixable enabling the user to create an infinite palette of colours. Pan pastels are a type of oil-based paint that comes in a pan form instead of a tube or jar. Textures and Blendability Some artists like to apply more than one color at once (blending them together with their fingers) while others prefer spreading pan pastel paint across the surface first before blending colors. There’s no right or wrong way of creating art — experiment with different techniques and find out what works best for you! PanPastel Ultra Soft Artist Pastels are the worlds first range of pastel colours that can be applied and mixed like paint. Each colour is loaded with artist pigments and are a professional quality.

The PanPastel Colourless Blender can be used to increase transparency without changing the hue of the pigment. The Colourless Blender can be used before the colour is applied to the paper or mixed with the colour after it has been applied. They are used by both beginner and advanced artists because they’re so easy to use — especially if you have some experience with other mediums like oil paints, watercolors, crayons, or colored pencils. Pan pastels are applied to paper or other surfaces in the same way oil paints and acrylics are. The only difference is that you’ll need more color pigment for pan pastel art supplies since colors come from individual pans.

The first thing to mention is the fact that they’re oil-based paint instead of watercolor or acrylics. This means you’ll be able to blend your colors easily on paper with just your fingers without any priming beforehand whatsoever (unlike traditional painting). You can effortlessly layer multiple textures and shades together like never before seen in art supplies! Lightfastness Use a palette knife or brush to apply color in smooth strokes then use another tool that has sharp edges to create more texture with ragged lines when needed.

I would definitely recommend using a workable fixative as you apply your Pan Pastels. I never used to work with pastels because I was afraid of smudging my work. Then I discovered workable fixative and my fear went away. They also work well with stencils since they can be laid down on top of the paper without disturbing how smoothly layers underneath are blended together. The final step is adding finishing touches such as highlights with white pan pastel paint and details which can be done by drawing over the top of previous layers. You can use pan pastels on their own or mix them with other mediums like traditional oil paints, watercolors, and acrylic paint.Keep layering translucent layers of paint one after another until you achieve desired effect and let each layer dry before adding another one on top. This step prevents blending mistakes and makes future corrections easier. To repair your PanPastel you will need some pure isopropyl alcohol (aka rubbing alcohol) of 70% strength or higher to ensure the best results. They succeeded in creating a new method of presenting pastels and developed a suite of tools to tease the best possible results from their product.

You can use your fingers, brushes (recommended), sponges, palette knives, specialized tools like PanPastel Extenders, and even household objects like cotton swabs, make-up brushes, eye shadow applicators, stamps, stamps/brushes combo. Just make sure to take it slow when applying pigment — this will help prevent smudges created by too much pressure against the surface. I love the look of soft pastels, but I HATE the feel of them on my hands. I can’t work with them. Colored pencils over pan pastels on sanded paper look nearly identical though! I prefer Polychromos for softer blending. Higher wax content pencils aren’t as soft to blend out. These will mix with a pan pastel base layer and allow you to get fine detail with your pan pastel work! I use my higher wax content pencils like Caran d’Ache Luminance over areas I don’t want to smudge out as much. In this one I used a white Caran d’Ache Pablo for smaller detail. Tip #7 Contrast Each color comes from its own individual pan — instead of being preloaded into one tube — it’s easy to take pan pastel painting on the go. All you need is a small travel palette and some paper to get started!PanPastels were conceived of by Bernadette Ward & Ladd Forsline, who were interested in reinventing the way artists approached pastels. In their own words; Pan pastels sets are made up of individual colors (or pans) that you mix together on your palette to make custom colors. Advantages of Using Pan Pastels
