The celebration continues on my Doodles Unleashed online book tour today with another one of my favorite creative companies PanPastel. I love their vibrant soft pastel colors for my mixed media paintings, especially the Bright Yellow Green which I used on fabric {unbleached muslin} in this Girlie Glam painting. There is also a link in the book to a video tutorial showcasing how to create this face.
In the Hand Drawn Letters section of Doodles Unleashed, I used a few of PanPastel colors to paint the letter "U", then doodled with Sakura Gelly Roll Pens over the top and used a USPS priority mail box as the surface. I will be sharing more hand drawn lettering techniques and videos in my upcoming REDEFINE the Doodle online workshop series.

I just recently ordered my first set of pan pastels (portrait) and I am HOOKED! I would LOVE to get some additional colors and definitely need a palette tray! Thanks for the chance! And what an amazing blog you have here. I am now a new follower and will be looking over your archives for some art journal inspiration!

I'm loving your site - I've always loved to doodle, and enjoy creating with different mediums. I'm especially enthralled with the idea of daily artistic journaling. I will start reading your pages more often. I'm also going to go over to the pan pastel site to sign up for their give-a-way too - thanks! Pauline

Sigh .... Pan Pastels ... so high on my wishlist! I only have one, a grey one, I bought this to shade Zentangles which works great. But I would love some bold bright colors ;-) I think art supplies are the one and only reason I would love to be rich LOL

I love the look of the Pan Pastels when they are all in the trays, but I haven't ever really played with them. I guess that is something I will have to make a priority for 2012. Thanks for a chance to win the giveaway.

Pan Pastels have been on my want list since they first came out. I managed to get one colour, but that just gave me a taste of how dandy this material is!
