Using PanPastel
It ’ s so easy to use PanPastel - the colors are very forgiving to use and they can be corrected easily . Here are a few basic techniques to get started :
Basic Instructions :
LOAD Sofft Tool with color by swiping gently over pan color surface 1-3 times . Do not dig into the color . Tip : swiping too many times will generate excess dust & waste .
APPLY color to model surface – achieve desired color coverage by building up layers . If the color application looks too heavy you can tone it down or remove easily ( see “ removing or changing colors ”).
MIX to create custom colors . Colors can either be mixed directly on the model surface or on a pan .
Multiple colors can be loaded on Sofft Tool , on either side and / or the edges .
TIPS FOR USING SOFFT TOOLS : - You may need to apply light ( finger ) pressure on the Sofft Tools to “ push ” color into surface . - Vary pressure to change amount of color applied . - Manipulate sponges / use edges for different lines & marks .
EASY CLEAN-UP
Cleaning Pan Surfaces : If a pan ’ s surface becomes contaminated with another color , “ clean ” pan by gently wiping away the contamination with a clean Sofft sponge or paper towel .
