Testimonials
Pan pastels transformed my artistic workflow in ways I never anticipated. Coming from a watercolor background, these pigments excel at covering areas that traditional mediums struggle with. The color range provides excellent mixing possibilities, allowing for countless custom hues. The included Sofft tools offer a perfect introduction to application techniques, though adding a colorless blender would enhance the set’s versatility.
The butter-smooth application quality stands out immediately – whether using fingers or applicators, the pigments glide effortlessly. As a polymer clay artist, I appreciate how these maintain color integrity after baking, unlike inferior stick pastels that require messy preparation and often shift hues. The saturated pigmentation means small amounts go far, justifying the investment despite the premium price point.
Storage design could improve – the stacked packaging makes color identification difficult without unscrewing each pan, and cross-threading becomes an issue. Additional lids would solve this problem, though purchasing them separately seems necessary. The product quality itself remains exceptional.
Working with these PanPastels feels remarkably different from traditional pastels. The texture resembles paint more than chalk, creating watercolor-like effects that traditional sticks simply cannot achieve.
The finely milled powder doesn’t clog paper fibers quickly, allowing extensive layering and adjustments without losing surface tooth. This medium produces minimal dust compared to conventional pastels, making workspace cleanup effortless. The pigmentation intensity means small amounts deliver rich, vibrant coverage that blends like butter across specialized paper surfaces. Colors stack beautifully, and the included Sofft tools provide excellent control for both broad applications and detailed work.
While mixing colors requires different techniques than liquid paints, combining them with pastel pencils for fine details creates stunning results. The compact, stackable containers organize efficiently, and despite the initial investment, longevity makes them economical since minimal product achieves maximum impact.
The vinyl construction of this storage system truly impresses with its clarity and flexibility, maintaining durability without becoming brittle over time. Pan pastels fit snugly into each compartment, creating a secure hold that prevents movement during transport. The lid design brilliantly seals off individual pan areas, eliminating cross-contamination between colors even when surface crumbling occurs during shipping. This feature proves invaluable for maintaining color purity.
Space efficiency stands out as a major advantage – the thin profile allows easy stacking while the transparent material makes color selection effortless compared to traditional box storage. Setup time disappears entirely since everything remains ready for immediate use. The tray accommodates tonal arrangements perfectly, with four pans per side allowing logical color groupings from extra dark through tint ranges.
For pan removal, screwing a lid onto the desired pan provides the necessary grip without damaging surfaces.
