Key Features and Design Benefits
- Effortless Color Transfer: These pastels are exceptionally soft, allowing children to achieve rich, opaque coverage without needing to apply heavy pressure.
- Clean & Comfortable Handling: Each pastel is encased in a protective paper wrapper, significantly reducing color transfer to hands and clothing while providing a comfortable grip.
- Multi-Surface Versatility: Highly adaptable, Panda pastels adhere to paper, cardboard, wood, drawing foil, cellophane, stone, fabrics, and unglazed earthenware.
- Certified Safety: All colors are formulated to meet rigorous European toy safety standards, providing peace of mind for educators and parents.
- Technique Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with other media, making them perfect for "repelling techniques" with water-based paints like Ecoline or gouache.
Included Color Palette (Bulk Configuration)
- 144 Oil Pastels total: This pack contains 12 sticks of each of the 12 essential colors: White, Lemon Yellow, Orange, Vermilion, Carmine, Light Blue, Ultramarine, Light Green, Green, Yellow Ochre, Light Brown, and Black.
Artistic Techniques to Explore
- The "Graffito" Technique: A favorite for kids! Apply a heavy layer of various Panda colors to paper, cover the entire area with Talens Opaque Black, and once dry, scratch away the black surface with a tool to reveal the rainbow of colors underneath.
- Wax Resists (Repelling): Draw a design using the White or light-colored pastels, then wash over the page with Ecoline or watercolor. The oil in the pastels will repel the water, leaving the drawing crisp and visible through the paint.
- Heat Experimentation: Because they have a low melting point, these pastels can be used on slightly warmed surfaces (like stone) to create unique, melty textures.
- Fabric Art: Use them to decorate textiles. For a more permanent result, the design can often be "set" by ironing the reverse side of the fabric (adult supervision recommended).
