Dawn uses PanPastel as a tool that fills a space for pastel and mixed media artists who wish to layer more creatively, physically, and spontaneously.

Each colour is loaded with the finest quality artists’ pigments for the most concentrated colours possible. The colours have excellent lightfastness and are fully erasable. Uniquely for a pastel colour, they can be mixed for a complete painting palette.

First Impressions: The PanPastel Colors Experience
Pastels have been around for a long time. You only have to see Renoir’s sublime works in pastel to appreciate this medium. Characterized by pure pigment, intense colours and a variety of applications pastels have a lot to offer. But pastel sticks have issues too. Soft pastels snap easily. A lot of pastel is wasted in excessive crumbling. Pastel dust is annoying. Sticks get dirty easily and must be carefully stored in foam boxes. Enter PanPastel Colors.
