PanPastel 28005 Ultra Soft Artist Pastel, Black 280.5

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

I like how it blends and tones down the darker swipe laid down at the beginning of a stroke. I didnt want to start playing with my pastel sets without a blender. That would be too frustrating. I recommend a purchase of this item if it doesnt come with your set.

Perfect for applying to plastic dolls that have been treated with Mr. Superclear. Just what I have been looking for.

The PanPastel chalk is amazing. The box it was shipped in was big and they had enough bubble wrap in there to protect it in shipping. Mine did not break apart like some people said theirs did. It covers very nicely on either light or dark papers. To get the best coverage use a card stock with a rough surface so the chalk has something to adhere to. I use Bazzill card stock for the best results. You can use a smooth surface paper, but the intensity of the color will not be as great. I also us a make up cotton round that is soft to apply the chalk to my project. It works great and they are cheaper to buy than the art sponges. You can use the chalk wet or dry. I prefer dry, that way if you make a mistake you can erase it. If you use it wet and make a mistake, you can still erase it but you will have a residual chalk line left. There are so many options to do with this chalk, it will never get unused!

Nice product, delivered shattered

This blending medium is excellent and will keep the colors you blended true to their vibrancy and not leave them dull or chalky. I highly recommend if you are going to use PanPastels, which are excellent btw, you need to have this.

It glides and blends so well with the other colors.

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

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.

Like how smooth it goes on. Just to pricey
