PanPastel 28005 Ultra Soft Artist Pastel, Black 280.5

Just as described! But unfortunately I dropped it when I was unwrapping the packaging:/

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

Just perfect.

This is essential for anyone who has Pan Pastels (or any pastels, really)- its basically like a clear Pan Pastel and allows you to extend and pull an application of Pan Pastel without making the color lighter or darker. For instance, if you lay down a line of blue Pan Pastel on your paper, you can then drag some of this right on top and it will allow you to cover twice as much area without dimming the color. I use it a lot to create transparent colors with Pan Pastels and other dry pastel sticks I have in my art supply collection. It also works as a way to get am ombre/faded look, and is a wonderful way to blend colors adjacent to one another without actually *mixing* the colors, so you dont get any muddy grays/browns from mixing colors that are complementary.

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.

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.

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 purchased this along with the titanium white which I have not received yet and Im going to compare it but Im pretty sure the individual package is supposed to have a seal around it it didnt occur to me until after I took it out of the bubble wrap and unscrew the lid and saw a little smudge Mark like someone put their finger there that I realized there was no plastic seal I honestly dont know theres supposed to be one like if these are supposed to be pulled from multiple packets which Im okay with but it was definitely touched before I had opened it. Regardless the pigment is nice and Im actually using it to help color my hair I found a good system especially for dark hair to use a combination of soft and oil pastels along with color hair spray to make it look more natural

Pan pastels are really beautiful to use. I am new to them. This was the first of a group of pan pastels that came broken up into small pieces. I am hoping it is still workable in that condition. Dont know if it broke up in the shipping process or was send out that way.

What can I say? Pan Pastel lives up to its reputation for outstanding quality and rich, smooth color.
