As with all new mediums it will
take time to get used to working with PanPastel Colors.
Experiment! You will find that you can create a myriad of new marks and
textures.
Here are some basic techniques to get started:
BLOCKING
IN
Block in large areas of color in seconds using the Big Oval Sofft
tool.
LAYERING
Build up multiple layers and thin veils of color without flooding
the tooth. To fix colors between layers, use a conventional pastel
fixative.
MIXING
Dry-in-Dry – mix colors directly on the working surface like
paint
BLENDINGAND HIGHLIGHTING
Blend colors easily together with Sofft Tools.
GRADATIONS
OF COLOR
It’s so easy to achieve gentle gradations of color - blending
seamlessly from color to color.
MULTIPLE
LOADING
Load Sofft Tools with two or three colors for striking decorative
effects.
You can load the tools with multiple colors, multiple times. Load
the palest color first.
WITH
PASTEL STICKS
While PanPastel Colors can be used on their own, try combining
them with pastel sticks for the best of both worlds!
CRAFT &
HOBBY
PanPastel Colors are acid free and are perfect for
a variety of projects, such as rubber stamping, paper crafts and
stenciling.
