This is an introduction to PanPastel Sofft Tools and Sponges. I demonstrate basic strokes and talk about the various Sofft tools available and their application.
Thanks Heidi, I've been getting comments from artists that didn't know Sofft Tools ever existed (especially the knives). Yeah this video was just only to let artists know what's available and what they look like.
Very good and informative video. Great way to introduce the application techniques for the Pan Pastels. May people should start watching your videos. You are a jewel!
Tyvm xcriss. Ill keep watching. I have a u art somewhere i bought. Gonna try. If i can get going with these i hate to think i wasted money on the master set. I just got more soft tool sponges in the mail. Also want to try the soft make up brushes.
Hey there Onna, you have to give them a go and just play with them , you never know what you'll come up with. But please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Hi ID, thank you for your question, you can clean these with warm soapy water and rinse very well. Lay them on a flat surface to dry completely. Thank you for watching and keep on keeping on.
Really love your videos. You are so good! Im mostly abstract art. I was to try pastel mat. Can't seem to get it. Checked everywhere in USA. I wish I could get a sample pack. So what is your 2nd choice in pan pastel paper? TIA.. I think you are awesome! Xo Onna
Amazon also has Pastelmat paper. I haven’t seen any sample packs. Maybe if you email the Clairefontaine company that makes Pastelmat they will send you some samples. If not, just buy one small pad. Each pad usually has 4 different paper colours. They are listed on the front of the pad.
@onna addis thank you for watching, your comment and question. @Braill Eulogy and @Heidi D are correct with their suggestions. In addition Jacksons UK are also a great place to source Pastelmat. Working on a video that will demonstrate different papers with the Sofft Tools. So be on the lookout for that.

Always helpful to learn some more! I still have to try 'm all!
Hey Shandri, thank you for watching, the sponges aren't for everyone, but yes you have to give them a go!!! so much art so little time!!!
I can't reuse the knives sponges, can you tell me anything about how can I clean them?

onna addis Uart 400 or 800 (800 for detail). Also try dickblick, for a nice pretty golden penny you can get Patelmat. Uart is cheaper :)

Hey Heidi, agree as well as getting a small pad is a great way to see if Pastelmat is the right surface for artists.
Hi Braile, I prefer the 800 in the UART and agree UART is cheaper.
