    Great vid. One thing that will help the audio is making yourself a pop-filter. Take a wire hanger, bend it into a circle and cover it with panty hose. Put that in front of your mic and talk through it. That will cut the vocal "pops" in your audio from your p's and t's ect. ❤❤ Old audio technician trick. 😉

      Hi Lynn, great to hear from you. I have only found two main manufacturers of "pan pastels". The Pan Pastels TM and Jane Davenport's "palette pastels'.
      PanPastelsTM have great rich vibrant colours, the 10 pack featured in this video is a great starting point.
      Jane Davenports "palette pastels" are a little cheaper in price, but the palettes are small. The colours are more subtle and perhaps a little less vibrant.
      I like them both and will lean towards one or the other depending on the project.
      Hope this helps my love.♥
