Mungyo Soft Pastels, Assorted - Box of 24

The Mungyo Soft Pastels Assorted set of 24 delivers a vibrant and versatile palette, perfect for both students and artists. These highly pigmented soft pastel sticks offer a smooth, consistent colour laydown, while maintaining a soft texture that is easy to blend and layer. The range includes a comprehensive selection of colours suited to landscapes, portraits, still life, life drawing, and abstract compositions. Each stick has a square shape that prevents rolling, and allows artists to work with fine edges for detail or use the sides for bold strokes.

These pastels are ideal for techniques such as crosshatching, flat edge work, stippling, layering, and scumbling. Their fade-resistant pigments hold well on slightly textured pastel papers or card, and they blend easily using fingers, stumps or brushes. Artists can use a workable fixative spray to preserve or layer additional work without smudging prior colours. These pastels are also great for mixed media work when combined with charcoal or pencil drawings, adding extra dimension and texture.
