PanPastel Colours are professional-quality soft pastels supplied in a unique 9ml pan format. Highly pigmented, ultra-soft and easy to blend, they allow artists to apply dry pastel colour with a smooth, painterly feel for drawing, painting and mixed media.
PanPastel Colours are professional artists' soft pastels presented in a distinctive pan format, allowing dry pastel colour to be applied and blended in a way that feels more like painting. Their ultra-soft consistency makes it easy to build colour gradually, create smooth transitions and cover larger areas efficiently.
Each colour contains highly concentrated artist-quality pigments, producing rich colour with excellent lightfastness. The low-dust formulation also makes PanPastel suitable for artists who want the expressive qualities of traditional soft pastels with greater control over application.
PanPastel can be used for a wide variety of drawing and painting techniques, from soft backgrounds and broad areas of colour through to shading, blending and detailed mixed-media work.
The colours can be mixed together much like conventional paint, allowing artists to create additional shades directly on the working surface. They can also be layered in thin, semi-transparent applications or built up for stronger and more intense colour.

PanPastel Colours can be used on many traditional drawing and painting surfaces and work particularly well on papers with enough texture to hold pastel pigment. Different surfaces can also influence the finished effect, with smoother papers producing softer, more transparent layers and textured surfaces holding stronger applications of colour.
They are also well suited to mixed-media work and can be combined with materials such as pastel pencils, charcoal and other drawing media.
The individual pans feature threaded bases, allowing multiple colours to be connected together for compact storage while keeping each shade separate and easy to identify.
