Oops...don't think my comment posted before. I have tried Pan Pastels in an art journaling workshop that I attended. We used them to create a landscape background. They are awesome to work with. I can't wait to see the techniques that you're going to show! Would love to win some of these products so I can continue to play! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteSG, pan pastels what could be more fun? I love pan pastels! It is great to learn new techniques. I love that you will be selling this fabulous sponges too. They are amazing to use!
ReplyDeleteI use Pan PAstels for my backgrounds and with stencils. I just love the feel of it and the numerous hues. I love to create shadows by just applying a slightly different hue through the same stencil after moving it a little. Thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI have never used pan pastels, though I have been ogling them for a while now. I think they'd be fabulous to work with using stencils because they aren't liquid like paint or ink.
