Description
PanPastel Colours offer many advantages:
- Super-blendable: the pan format and their ultra-soft formulation mean that PanPastel Colors blend beautifully for an infinite palette of colours.
- Paintable: for the first time artists can apply and mix (dry) pastel colours like paint
- Instant: no drying or preparation time is needed. Simply lift the colour using a Sofft Tool to start painting immediately
- Easy: no solvents, water or other special mediums are required – use PanPastel colours “dry” for the benefits of wet paint without the hassle.
- Erasable: PanPastel is a very forgiving medium to use – use any eraser to correct mistakes or remove the colour. An eraser can also be used to create highlights and for subtractive drawing techniques.
- Versatile: compatible with other artists’ media and almost any art & craft surface (even thin delicate papers as there is no bleed-through or buckling because PanPastel is dry colour).
- Control: using Sofft Tools it is easy to control the colour, and to achieve a wide variety of marks and effects
- Very low dust: for a cleaner, more pleasant working environment. Generating less waste.

Wow, I am very impressed with this product. It is so easy to use and diverse beyond imagination. It lays down very smoothly and blends like a dream. It is excto use alongside pastel pencils and coloured pencils.
