Why Journal?

…Because we tend to remember the huge dramatic experiences of our lives with ease. It’s those little moments, those free or inexpensive, emotionally charged seconds that we all too often forget or take for granted…I want to remember them all and I want my family to remember me for them”

Unique Packaging

PanPastel packaging protects the colours, keeping them separate and clean. Making them perfect for both studio work, and for traveling / plein air work.

The pans and storage jars (for Sofft Tools) interlock securely together making it easy to store and organise the colours and tools, minimising the amount of storage space required.

Sofft Tools™

Sofft tools have been specially designed to work with PanPastel and other media, for more information click here to visit the Sofft tools information page

PanPastel Colors were developed so that artists can easily lift, apply and control pastel colour, just like true painting! The pan format holds the color like paint for easy application.

Loaded with the highest quality artists’ pigments; PanPastel Colours are made using a unique manufacturing process requiring minimal binder and fillers, resulting in a rich, ultra soft and low dust formulation (which makes them especially suitable for asthmatics).

All of these professional quality colours are highly pigmented, have excellent lightfastness and are fully erasable.

Each pan contains 35% more material than the average pastel stick making them excellent value for money. Pan Pastel Colours are fully compatible with traditional pastel sticks, pastel surfaces, conventional fixatives and other artists’ colours.
