Big Congratulations to PanPastel

I wrote a blog post recently about the tools we use. One of my favorite ways to add quick splashes of color is with PanPastel. Many of you who’ve attended IFVP conferences may remember Berni Ward. She would set up a demonstration table and generously provide swag bag samples of the soft pastels.

Bernie shared some exciting news with me recently. Her company, ColorFin, has been acquired by Golden Artist Colors, a purveyor of fine artist paints and products. Read the press release here: https://www.goldenpaints.com/press_releases/panpastel-acquisition

I’ve been talking with representatives from GOLDEN and I am thrilled to find out they want to continue a PanPastel relationship with IFVP. While we are pursuing additional partnership opportunities, they will sponsor our conferences where possible. They are also eager to find out how visual practitioners use their products. Check out their GOLDEN Certified Working Artist Program https://www.goldenpaints.com/workart. Are you an IFVP member who uses PanPastel Colors in your graphic recording or facilitation?

Send some work samples and a little overview of how you incorporate PanPastel into your and we’ll make the proper introductions.
