Have you tried using Pan Pastels before? What are your thoughts on this project and what you think about Pan Pastels? I would also love to hear if you have done some goal planning for the next year. Have a fantastic New Year’s Day and I hope that that the days and months ahead bring many good things to your life! Project Supply List When using your pastels you should use a paper that has some texture to it. PanPastels work just like regular pastels in this regard and prefer a surface with a bit of tooth to it, that way the pigment has something to cling to. The rougher the texture the more pronounced and extreme the effects you can achieve. There’s no set way of painting with pan pastel — it’s a process that you can develop your own style with as you try new mediums and techniques! Use a palette knife or brush to apply color in smooth strokes then use another tool that has sharp edges to create more texture with ragged lines when needed.

Pan pastels are soft oil pastels, similar to chalk or charcoal in texture but they can be blended like watercolors. To repair your PanPastel you will need some pure isopropyl alcohol (aka rubbing alcohol) of 70% strength or higher to ensure the best results. Many fixatives darken pastel colors. SpectraFix doesn’t as long as you apply it in VERY light layers. I use a fine mist sprayer to make sure I don’t get heavy droplets. Ideally, spray your work several times while you work. This helps the pastels to adhere to the paper better long term. Over the years, pastels start to dust off your paper. Not generally to the point where the work totally disappears, I don’t want to freak anyone out. It’s not THAT bad, but if you look at framed pastel work that isn’t sprayed with any fixatives, you will notice a dusting of pastel on the inner mat. A fixative will help to minimize this. It also will help seal previous layers down for better layering. Tip #3 Size This will provide you an excellent surface for working with pastels and PanPastels alike on surfaces such as canvas, wood and cardboard or any other primed surface. Remember that the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) is just a guideline for pricing. Many art stores will sell supplies below MSRP. Sets are often bundled at prices lower than purchasing colors individually.PanPastels were conceived of by Bernadette Ward & Ladd Forsline, who were interested in reinventing the way artists approached pastels. In their own words;

They consist of a mixture of pigments, binders, and fillers that can be applied to surfaces such as paper or canvas with brushes or fingers. PanPastels are available in 92 colours which cover a selection of shades and tints. Plus a dedicated range of 6 pearlescent colours, 6 metallic colours and 5 mediums. Pan pastels are applied to paper or other surfaces in the same way oil paints and acrylics are. The only difference is that you’ll need more color pigment for pan pastel art supplies since colors come from individual pans.Smaller is faster but harder to get small detail. If you like tiny tiny detail, you may want to work larger to make it easier to capture in your work. Larger work takes longer though, so if you don’t want to spend as long you can work smaller and focus on your lighting/contrast more than detail to still create a great painting. PanPastel Colors were developed so that artists can easily lift, apply and control pastel colour, just like true painting! The pan format holds the colour like paint for easy application. The PanPastel Colourless Blender can be used to increase transparency without changing the hue of the pigment. The Colourless Blender can be used before the colour is applied to the paper or mixed with the colour after it has been applied.
