Mungyo Oil Pastels - 12 Colours

This Mungyo Oil Pastel set includes 12 highly pigmented colours, covering warm and cool variations of the primary colour spectrum, along with black and white, offering excellent colour mixing possibilities. Each oil pastel measures 7(L) x 1.1(W)cm and is individually wrapped for neat, mess-free handling. Designed for classroom art, workshops and home use, these pastels are non-toxic, making them suitable for all ages.

These vivid, fade-resistant pastels offer a smooth and creamy consistency, delivering a quality finish comparable to oil paint. Ideal for layering over acrylic paint, pencil or charcoal drawings, they're excellent for accent work and mixed media art. Students and artists can explore a variety of drawing techniques, including blending, tonal gradation, scumbling, sgraffito and stippling. The pastels work beautifully on smooth cartridge paper, textured pastel paper, or coloured and black papers for added contrast.

Oil pastels are a valuable tool in developing colour theory understanding and fine motor skills, while encouraging self-expression and creative exploration.
