PanPastel Artist Pastels are exceptional, professional-quality soft pastels with a smooth, velvety texture that have revolutionized the way artists work with dry color. Thanks to their innovative formula and unique pan format, they allow artists to apply, blend, and shade color just like paint, while preserving all the advantages of traditional stick pastels.

Produced using the finest artist-grade pigments and minimal binders or fillers, PanPastels offer exceptionally pure, rich, and deep colors with a silky-smooth consistency. Each shade is highly pigmented and remarkably efficient—just a small amount produces intense, vibrant color. PanPastels apply evenly, blend beautifully, and create smooth tonal transitions, allowing for delicate shading, glazing, and painterly effects that are difficult to achieve with traditional pastel sticks.

The colors are fully erasable, blendable, and easy to correct, giving artists complete control over their work. Compared to conventional pastels, PanPastels generate significantly less dust, ensuring a cleaner and healthier working environment with minimal material waste. Thanks to their unique pan format and specially designed Sofft Tools, artists can apply color precisely, gradually, or with broad strokes—depending on their technique and creative intent.

PanPastels are known for their excellent lightfastness, ensuring colors remain vivid and durable for years. Each shade is formulated with carefully selected pigments such as PW6 (Titanium Dioxide – Rutile) and PBr7 (Natural Iron Oxide with Manganese), valued for their stability and superior quality.

They are ideal for painting, drawing, illustration, portraiture, and various mixed media, scrapbooking, and decorative projects. Their distinctive texture enables layered application, allowing artists to build depth and subtlety previously unattainable with dry media.

Brand history

In the early 2000s, artists Bernadette Ward and Ladd Forsline envisioned a new kind of art medium—a dry pigment that would retain the characteristics of pastels but behave like paint. Inspired by the long history of raw pigment use and the enduring stick format of traditional pastels, they sought to create a material that combined the immediacy and purity of pastel color with the fluidity of paint.

In 2005, they founded Colorfin LLC, and after five years of research and development, perfected a unique production process that pressed pure pastel pigment into a flat pan format—thus, PanPastel® was born and introduced to the world in 2007. They also developed Sofft® Tools, a range of specially designed micropore sponge applicators that allowed PanPastel colors to be applied like paint. For the first time, artists could blend and mix dry pastel colors seamlessly, with minimal dust and maximum control.

Today, PanPastel Artist Pastels are part of the GOLDEN family, offering artists worldwide an extraordinary combination of intense color, soft texture, and painterly freedom that has redefined the pastel medium.
