Mungyo Gallery Soft Oil Pastels Set of 48 - Assorted Colors

Wonderful buttery soft and smooth, great blending, great rich, saturated colours

They’re really good. Just like everyone said. They’re a great blend between buttery and hard oil pastels. None came cracked and I’ve used it for a while.

Lovely soft pastels, could have done with doubling up on whites and finding it hard to get individual colour replacements. Great to use and strong colours.

A lot better than the Pentel oil pastels - much easier to blend, chiefly. Only one white pastel, though, which is a shame. Very good value. See quick sketch of grass and clouds, done on black paper in a hurry, above!

Good quality pastels that don't crumble and are smooth to use. Each pastel is a good size and is easy to draw with. They also layer and blend well. These would make a fun set for kids and adults alike.

These pastels are a joy to use - they blend effortlessly, have a soft texture, and don't flake or leave chips. While they may be pricier compared to other quality pastels, I believe they're worth the investment, especially if you're creating art rather than just sketching. The superior performance and durability justify the higher cost, making them a worthwhile choice for serious artists.

After a botched attempt on using colouring pencils on adult colouring books, I thought to try oil pastels instead and bought the Mungyo's set. I also had the Pentels 25 set for a year and the Mungyo's are an absolute dream to work with in comparison. Very buttery (now more so in the summer), creamy, vibrant and layer far better than the Pentels. It doesn't take much effort to lay down colour, and it's also far less waxy. When you put one colour on top of a previous colour, they just do not go muddy/smear the first colour underneath like with the Pentels.It's worth noting these have not been tried on pastel paper, and only on the colouring book I used, so it might perform much better when the right choice of paper is used. In this case the oil pastels do layer very well on the colouring page, but when it came to impasto effects, it became a little muddy (as seen in the flowers). I don't use any solvent/q tips when using these, and laid them down straight from box to the book.The only downside is that the white doesn't layer on top of other colours well, and best to get a Sennelier white if you want better highlights and not just mixing. Overall, I love these and highly recommend as a starter set, or for anyone looking to upgrade.

good quality
