PanPastel Artist Pastels by GOLDEN, Black, 2.44” / 62mm Pan Diameter, Professional Artist Pastels, Unique Pan Format (cake-like)

Good color

Pan pastels are amazing. The application is smooth and creamy. Their soft tool applicators are highly recommended to apply and blend flawlessly. I bought a basic set “the Jason Morgan Wildlife “ plus an extra white. Honestly, those are all the colors you’ll need to do landscapes or animal art. They last a long time and are easy to store. They can be erased. Like with all pastels, when erased they leave a slight hue but can be covered over with. They’re absolutely great for pastel backgrounds as well. They do cost more but they last forever since you only have to use a small amount. I also purchased the transparent color which allows you to blend into the pastel without changing its color, like white would. Makes for better blending of colors too. Image shows my entire set.

Great product for Charcoal sketch work!

I'm not a professional artist, but I AM a professional shopper of art supplies - according to my Husband The Complainer - and all I can say is that I'm halfway through my first pastel work (see attached photo of "Snakey") and I LOVE these Pan Pastels. From what I understand, everyone who uses them loves them, and my little review is hardly necessary. I CAN say, however, that I have used them also for polymer clay, and I can speak to their wonderful qualities in that field, having had an amazing experience with them for over 20 years now. You can use Pan Pastels on uncured (preferred) clay, and NEVER worry about it not working - it will stay put through any sort of condition you can imagine. It survives through the baking process, even multiple bakings, and looks as fresh and beautiful as it did when you first applied it, the same as it does when you apply it on Pastelmat when using it for artwork (as in Snakey). I don't consider myself an "artist," but I'm having a ball using these. I know they're expensive, but they're actually NOT when you think of how little you use at a time. Compared to pastel sticks, you are using barely a fraction of the amount. If you take the time to compare the two, you will see. The results with Pan Pastel, however, are worth the investment, no matter the cost, though, if results mean anything to you. And they should.

This is the perfect pigment for pale skinned people! If you were doing a project that required that kind of thing. On like a doll or something.

I don't want to hurt the sale of this fine product, but unless these are packed carefully, they probably can't be shipped without damage unless Amazon upgrades prep. A minimally padded envelope is not sufficient.

I enjoy using pan pastels.

This is really pretty good pastel paint. The powder is medium consistency and made very well, so it it's easy to work with.
