PanPastel 28005 Ultra Soft Artist Pastel, Black 280.5

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.

Nice product, delivered shattered

Just as described

Used it to make my fake pie

Easy to use. Just pick your applicator carefully as they can make it blotchy.

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.

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.

the product arrived to me in mint condition (not broken like some have in previous purchases from others). thank you!

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!

Thanks
