ALCOHOL WASHES WITH PANPASTEL

 

Unlock a whole new way to use your PanPastel with a simple twist: introduce 70% Isopropyl into your process. Load your brush with alcohol first, then pick up pigment—or reverse the order, add a drop mid-stroke, or even wet the surface for beautiful washes and blending. However you approach it, this method is incredibly flexible and invites experimentation at every step.

Markmaking

 

The payoff? Exceptionally crisp, densely pigmented marks with sharp edges—something no dry application can achieve. Alcohol activates the pigment beautifully and flashes off almost instantly, leaving behind a clean, dry PanPastel mark with no residue. For artists who crave precision and detail without switching mediums, this technique opens up entirely new possibilities.
