PanPastel 28005 Ultra Soft Artist Pastel, Black 280.5

As you see by the photo the pigments are strong and can be easily picked up. They go on well with many surfaces like resin or paper. The colour is so beautiful as well. I am constantly buying them now. PS: the packaging was fine for me and I didnt have any issues. Love them!

Thanks

I absolutely love these pan pastels for my business, they’re pigmented and come in so many colors. But THEY NEED TO BE PACKAGED BETTER!!! 2 out of 4 this time that I ordered came in completely shattered. Now this is going to make a mess all over and be difficult to work with. I’ve ordered other colors in the past, and they come wrapped in bubble wrap and were in perfect condition when delivered. These need to be bubble wrapped and shipped with care. They’re too fragile to just throw in a bag and send out.

I bought this product to experiment with dapples on horses, so far it has been fantastic!

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.

Great product

This was my first experience with Pan Pastels, but Im a professional artist. I used this on Strathmore bristol, and Im very happy. Ive applied with the Sofft tools made by the company that makes Pan Pastels, and Ive also used brushes. This product goes on smoothly and is very forgiving. I absolutely will continue using Pan Pastels!

Just as described

Great pkg was in great shape

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.
