On September 24, 2025, I was in Madrid for two PanPastel demonstrations at the wonderful Hartem shop. What a special experience it was to showcase my techniques there to a curious and enthusiastic audience.!

During the demonstrations, I showed just how versatile PanPastel is – ranging from soft transitions and subtle shading to bold, expressive effects. The audience watched attentively and asked insightful questions, making it a truly interactive session.

The atmosphere was warm and inspiring. Thanks to Ana and the entire Hartem team, and a special word of thanks to Christiaan, who served as my translator that day. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to share my passion for PanPastel, and I hope I have inspired many to try working with this wonderful medium themselves.
