In the following video, Ladd Forsline with Colorfin LLC demonstrates how to work with the wonderful pastels “PanPastel”. These are not your ordinary pastels folks. Instead of coming in the usual stick form, they are made in little pan like containers and applied with tools called “Sofft Tools”. Its a very unique and interesting way to work with pastels. The following video will demonstrate various tips, techniques and applications of this product .
One of the key advantages of working with PanPastels as opposed to stick pastels, is that you can block in large areas of color very quickly using the Sofft Tools, which Ladd will demonstrate.
Another great advantage of these pastels is that they are loaded with color. Unlike regular pastels, which take multiple layers to cover the support, PanPastels can cover quickly with a very thin layer, making these pastels more economical.
