PanPastel 28005 Ultra Soft Artist Pastel, Black 280.5

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!

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.

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.

Used it to make my fake pie

I have been using soft pastels for 30 years and these are by far one of the best. The colors are vibrant, mix well and go on smoothly. They work on most surfaces including vinyl and composition as long as you pre-set with Mr. Clear. I would highly recommend these pastels!

Great pkg was in great shape

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!

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

It glides and blends so well with the other colors.

Great product
