Kirsty Rebecca Complete Realism
Pan Pastel Set
I have been working with Golden Artist Colours to create the perfect set of 20 Pan Pastel colours which I believe are essential for creating a variety of realistic subjects like human portraits, wildlife, landscapes, pet portraits, flowers, birds, still life, and more!
I first created a set of 20 colours called "General Realism with Kirsty Rebecca" a few years ago. In 2025, Golden introduced 53 new colours to their Pan Pastel range. This provided the opportunity to update and improve my own set. After months of trials, I have replaced 5 colours and re-named the new set; "Kirsty Rebecca Complete Realism"
Below is a free PDF to explain the changes between the "old" and the "new" set and have also included a colour mixing chart to help you mix the older colours (and vice-versa) if you are following my tutorials
If you are interested in purchasing this set, it is available from various art stores worldwide!
If your local art store stocks Golden Artist Colours Products (or they stock Pan Pastels but don't yet have this set yet, you can ask them to order it for you!
