Dawn Emerson Collection Set Dawn Emerson Collection Set

A Message From Dawn :

“ Used alone or in conjunction with stick pastels , PanPastel offers new opportunities for layering over many surfaces and media that stick pastels simply cannot be applied to . The Sofft Applicators can act like a brush or palette knife to give the artist more ways to make marks and control pressure .

Unlike stick pastels , PanPastel Colors leave no crumbly edges when used through stencils . Colors can be applied thinly to achieve a wash-like transparent quality that reveals layers below , or the color can be applied many layers deep to achieve a more intense , opaque appearance . Contrary to the traditional rule of pastel , dark colors can be put over light colors , and colors can be changed completely without scraping off a previous layer . Because of the fine consistency of the pigments , PanPastel Colors can be erased , scraped through with various tools , or used with wet and dry media . In short , PanPastel affords the artist unlimited possibilites for layering and mixing colors in new ways to offer each artist new tools for expression .

PanPastel Colors are non-toxic and less dusty than stick pastels . They are easy to store , transport , and clean . With this set of 40 pans and a few applicators you should be able to mix virtually any color you wish , including metallics , pearlescents , shades and tints ! You can even “ dilute ” any color by adding the Colorless Blender to it . PanPastel Colors are fun to use and don ’ t require an easel or special “ pastel ” papers . Enjoy creating and combining colors as you would with paint . The color mixing chart enclosed is only to give you an idea of where to begin ! Just play and discover what you can do !”

“ PanPastel Colors give me the freedom I need to explore new ways to use color , layering , and mark making in my work .”

Dawn ’ s Tips :

4SURFACES Try applying PanPastel Colors to different substrates ( not just paper !) of different colors and textures and notice how they spread differently and look more or less intense , opaque , or transparent , on the different papers .

4MIXED MEDIA Use over wet or dry mediums like graphite , colored pencils , charcoal , oil pastel , oil sticks , wax , or wet mediums like oil , printmaking ink , acrylic , water color , etc . As long as you don ’ t contaminate the pan / sponge applicator with another medium ( like oil or water , turp or alcohol ) you will discover that you don ’ t have to wait for things to dry before applying the PanPastel . Use a light touch !

4 Try painting a subject in different color harmonies : black / grey / white , monochromatic , complementary , analogous , triadic , split complementary , OR just have fun and go for it !

4 Create beautiful calligraphic marks with the large Sofft Angle Slice Sponge .

4 Take just PanPastel to a figure drawing class . Draw shapes with PanPastel , then add lines with charcoal .
