Artists, if you haven't tried PanPastels yet, you're missing out on something seriously cool. This Sketch & Tone set includes 7 essential colors - Black, Raw Umber, Payne's Gray, Red Iron Oxide, Yellow Oxide, Titanium White, and Burnt Sienna - plus a palette tray and Sofft tools. The unique pan format is game-changing - you apply them with special sponges and tools instead of getting your hands messy with traditional pastel sticks. The color payoff is incredible, and they blend like dreamy paint without creating all that dust that gets everywhere. I use them for everything from quick sketches to detailed finished pieces - they're perfect for tonal underpaintings, atmospheric effects, or adding subtle color layers. The Sofft tools included give you different application options, from broad coverage to fine details. Since they're dry, you can layer them without waiting for anything to dry, and they work beautifully with other media like pencils or inks. The quality is professional-grade with intense pigmentation that doesn't fade. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just exploring new mediums, these PanPastels open up creative possibilities you didn't know you were missing. Assembled in the USA with that quality you can trust.
