Using PanPastel Mediums

Using the Colorless Blender

One of the most important and unique characteristics of PanPastel Colors is that they are dry (pastel) colors that can be mixed like fluid paints. They “flow” even though they are dry.

Blender

The Colorless Blender enhances the “flow” and extends the blending possibilities of PanPastel.

Color can be extended (diluted) & becomes more transparent, but the color itself remains the same.


Using the Pearl Mediums

PanPastel Pearl Mediums add a lustrous pearlescent sheen and shimmer, which changes depending on the angle they are viewed from, this also creates dimension.

The Pearl Mediums are mica based and can be mixed with all PanPastel Colors for custom pearlescent colors or used on their own for mixed media.
