Rebecca Crowell & Jerry McLaughlin

Rebecca Crowell & Jerry McLaughlin, authors of the book “Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts & Conversations ”, include Pastel Colors as an important part of the materials that they use in their cold wax studios. They use PanPastel for mark-making and for color and textural effects on semi-dry and dry cold wax surfaces; and demonstrate these techniques in their instructional video, "Cold Wax Medium: A Video Workshop".  

“We love PanPastel Colors because of their safety, convenient packaging, and huge range of colors. You can create subtle color shifts or dramatic, bold effects depending on how you choose to work with them.” - Rebecca Crowell & Jerry McLaughlin
