PanPastel 28005 Ultra Soft Artist Pastel, Black 280.5

I was pleased to receive this product so quickly. The product and service are great. A real necessity when working with pan pastels!

Great product

I do a lot of scrapbooking, and this works perfect for the shading of the eyes! Will be buying again however this should last me a long time!

I bought this product for a few reasons. The main one was transferring a sketch to a black piece of paper which tracing paper cant be used. I saw a YouTuber suggest this as a possibility so I took her word for it. It works well, just go lightly with it because it tends to get messy and make the black paper blotchy with it.

for my purposes it does not matter that it came broken, but I was a bit disappointed as I did pay a good amount of money on a single pastel. I think the packaging is to blame as it was placed in a plastic bag at the bottom of the box. There were a few packaging bubbles but since the pastel was at the bottom of the box it did no good. If you dont mind this product being broken up or have means to repair it go for it as it is a stellar pastel with great coverage.

Just perfect.

It glides and blends so well with the other colors.

Im not a professional artist, but I AM a professional shopper of art supplies - according to my Husband The Complainer - and all I can say is that Im halfway through my first pastel work (see attached photo of Snakey) and I LOVE these Pan Pastels. From what I understand, everyone who uses them loves them, and my little review is hardly necessary. I CAN say, however, that I have used them also for polymer clay, and I can speak to their wonderful qualities in that field, having had an amazing experience with them for over 20 years now. You can use Pan Pastels on uncured (preferred) clay, and NEVER worry about it not working - it will stay put through any sort of condition you can imagine. It survives through the baking process, even multiple bakings, and looks as fresh and beautiful as it did when you first applied it, the same as it does when you apply it on Pastelmat when using it for artwork (as in Snakey). I dont consider myself an artist, but Im having a ball using these. I know theyre expensive, but theyre actually NOT when you think of how little you use at a time. Compared to pastel sticks, you are using barely a fraction of the amount. If you take the time to compare the two, you will see. The results with Pan Pastel, however, are worth the investment, no matter the cost, though, if results mean anything to you. And they should.

Good quality , great product, ty

Love the color for making blush on my felt softies! Only issue is that it came broken so I have to make sure I open it over something that wont stain.
