Mungyo Soft Pastels, Assorted - Box of 12

The Mungyo Soft Pastels Assorted set includes 12 vibrant, highly pigmented colours, ideal for artists and students across all skill levels. These pastel sticks are soft in texture yet firm enough to hold their shape, delivering smooth and consistent colour on a variety of surfaces. Designed for versatility, they are excellent for a wide range of techniques including blending, layering, crosshatching, stippling, flat edge shading, and stencilling.

This assorted colour range is suitable for many art applications including landscapes, portraits, still life, and life drawing. Their square shape prevents rolling and offers precise edges for detailed work. Use fingers, blending tools, or brushes to soften colours and build tonal variation. For best results, use on lightly textured pastel paper that can grip the pigment effectively. A workable fixative spray may be used to secure layers or seal finished pieces without disturbing underlying colours.

These fade-resistant soft pastels are perfect for classrooms, art studios, and home use-adding a burst of colour and depth to any drawing.
