A Revolutionary New Way to Use Color: Blend & Apply Dry Color Like Fluid Paint
The Benefits of Using Dry Colors vs. Wet Colors:
No drying time required – for colors, artwork or tools
Instantly ready for use, always – just lift the palette lid and work immediately
No solvents or water needed
Use on delicate and lightweight papers without bleed-through or buckling
PanPastel offers the following advantages compared to pastel sticks:
Very low dust: for a cleaner, more pleasant working environment
Pan format: cake-like format enables pastel color to be lifted and applied like paint
Highly pigmented formulations: minimal binder/fillers means the finest pastel colors possible
Ultra soft & rich: buttery, blendable colors
Versatile: can be used on a wider variety of surfaces - very low-tooth delicate to high-tooth surfaces
Jar packaging: holds the color for easy organization and storage
For pastel painting and mixed media work use PanPastel Colors to:
Quickly block in large areas of color in seconds, e.g. for backgrounds and underpainting
Achieve a more painterly effect in pastels
Apply controlled marks – from intense strokes to delicate marks
Build up multiple layers while controlling the surface “tooth” fill
Apply ultra thin “glazing” layers & veils of color
The colors can be mixed together, eliminating the need to invest in hundreds of colors for a complete painting palette.
