PanPastel Colors are professional artists’ quality soft pastel colors packed in a unique pan format (cake-like). The special qualities of PanPastel Colors mean that artists can blend and apply dry color like fluid paint for the first time.

All PanPastel Colors are made using a unique manufacturing process requiring minimal binder and fillers, resulting in rich, ultra soft and super-blendable colors.

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

Pans contain 0.30floz (9ml) of color –
40% more material than the average pastel stick*, yielding at least 4-5 times more coverage than sticks.

Unique Packaging

In addition to all the great benefits of using PanPastel – they are also packed in a format that is very convenient.

The pan format protects the colors, keeping them separate and clean in the studio and when transporting them. The pans thread securely together making it easy to store and organize the colors, minimizing the amount of storage space required.

Palette Trays are also available. These functional palettes are the ideal way to hold PanPastel in use, and also makes storage of the colors quick and easy.
