this is a great video. i didn't know about pan pastels. a gentle suggestion, the background music is a bit loud. Great video though! thanks for taking the time to do it!

[@aupony]

I just bought the two sets of pan pastels at the show in Auburn, NY. I’m excited to learn more about using them. I found this tutorial to be very helpful. Thank you!!

[@michikoclark8602]

Great videos, thank you. However, the music is very distracting. Any chance you can do the vids without music? Cheers.

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Thanks, we have changed the music aspect.

[@joylane5560]

Love the vibrant colours!

[@kayfurnish8715]

I love Pan Pastels, but haven't used mine in ages until I saw some Blue Knight videos. I love the tips, but I have to say I had a very hard time hearing you because of the loud background music!! Maybe while you're talking you could turn the music down a little bit next time.

[@sallymalec2685]

What type of paper do you use?

[@kayfurnish8715]

@@sallymalec2685 Gina K. Designs white cardstock, both the heavy weight and layering weight work great. Super smooth surface!

[@reneekroyer5104]

@@kayfurnish8715 So the smooth surface takes a lot of the pastel? Is that if you use only PanPastel alone? Or PanPastel and pencil alone? I know that soft pastels fill up the tooth really fast and a smooth paper does not have much tooth, in my experience using Canson paper.

[@kayfurnish8715]

@@reneekroyer5104 I've found it works great, but I also seal it with a fixative. I haven't used pencils mixed with the Pan Pastels - just either used them for a background and stamped on them or used them as a coloring agent for a stamped image. I've read they don't have to be sealed, but last longer if they are sealed. I haven't tried not sealing the pastels because I figured they would rub off eventually. As a side note, I've not tried them on watercolor paper, but I am curious how that would work, so I may try it in the future. I just mostly work with Gina K. Designs cardstock because of the quality, and I can use Copic markers on it too, and Gamsol with Prismacolor pencils. Good all-around cardstock that is heavyweight for sturdiness.

[@reneekroyer5104]

@@kayfurnish8715 I have tried watercolor paper with pastels after applying clear gesso for some texture-tooth, but for me, it does not work well. And when I try applying fixative to anything, it turns dark and loses the luminoscity of pastels. I have some brown paper that another artist told me about that is acid free that she said worked well for pastel and did a demo of it, so I'll try that first, but I'll keep the Gina K Design cardstock in mind, too. Thank you for your help.

[@pamala1964]

Thank you so much for the info!! Of all art videos I have viewed, I have never come across any of them that mention colors not to mix! Very helpful!!

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

You are so welcome!

Never knew or have seen the blend pastel. Thank you.

Very helpful! Thank you.

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Thank you!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

I don’t own any Pan Pastels, but I can see another advantage to them, in that they don’t dry out like ink pads! 😂

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

You are so right!

[@trishcusworth4950]

Beautiful colours

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Thank you

[@drendelous]

could you share the color codes of the ones you showed?

[@frankclarkjr6369]

Yes ma'am, if possible can you direct me to where I can purchase your pastels, thank you so much, I especially like the colors available in them

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

You can purchase at blueknightstamps.com Thank you

[@kathyshortt6982]

Where can I find the eraser?

[@bettythurman7871]

Just found you. Love your techniques. Thanks for that. However, the music is too distracting. Thanks again for sharing

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Thank you. We have changed the music aspect of the videos.♥️

[@pepperjackey5899]

Your background music is a bit loud. You may want to turn down the music a bit. Love the video.

[@Nelzer64]

Just bought the 2 sets today at the show in Lawrenceville,Ga

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Enjoy them! I would love for you to share your work in our fan page on fb. Fans of Blue Knight Rubber Stamps

[@angieconley6501]

How can I get the colorless blender? I have a lot of pan Pastels. But that colorless blender is one I don’t own.

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Hi Angie. You van order at blueknightstamps.com

[@reneekroyer5104]

Hi there. Thank you for this video. I'm just wondering if it is best to use non-sanded paper for the PanPastels?

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Panpastels can be used on almost any paper. The smoother the finish the lighter the finished card.

[@solovjud]

@@blueknightrubberstamps9445 Thank you.

[@nafordebi]

I have been buying mostly just the prominent colors like permanant green perm red etc I really need to know how to make the other 3 colors tiny shade darker shade do u have a video ahowing this or can you direct me to a really good one, something tells me you have one up ur sleeve lol

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Hi Deborah. To make your colors a bit darker you can mix a touch of black with them. Just use a piece of scrap paper as a pallet and load your sponge up with color, smear it on your scrap paper in a small spot, add a small touch of black ( it is very vibrant), in a circular motion, mix it together. Keep adding color until you get what you want. I usually use a mini applicator when mixing colors.

[@daniellemagne6283]

Did you find those colors on internet or on the shop ? Danielle

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Go to blueknightstamps.com That is our web store

[@jamiegossett]

how do you elongate color? extend?

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Larry, you use the colorless blender.

[@victoriabergesen6775]

Do you need to fix them with a spray?

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

Yes, you can just use a hairspray that doesn’t spit or Krylon for pastels.

[@sallymalec2685]

What type of paper are you using?

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

I just use Walmart Pen and Gear 110 lb. card stock.

[@elizabethnelson4110]

Why use the colorless blender?

[@blueknightrubberstamps9445]

The colorless blender elongates the color making it easy to blend the colors together. It works especially well when making sky backgrounds.

[@bodenkree7053]

Came here to learn a little more about pan pastels as I've just gone and bought a set for a very large commission I have (seems easier and faster coverage as an underpainting), but then I stopped the video when you failed to blend the colours even with that blending stuff. Music is appalling

[@lahaza6515]

So helpful, but the music playing throughout is just awful because whole you're trying to listen it's competing & strumming away repetitively with that canned tune.

[@marilynshannon3648]

The blue is pronounced "Fay lo"

[@tugaroocrab]

Why? Oh why do you have music?

[@angelahyde7133]

please no music would rather hear you and relax

[@MissAdoptaCat]

Wish there wasn’t such load music playing over an instructional video.

[@virginiarobinson9678]

No music please…very distracting.

[@super60sand70s]

Could not watch the video because of the music

[@virginiarobinson9678]

Please! No music…many of us are requesting this. Distracting😵‍💫

[@gatitomicho]

The music is very disgusting.
