Mungyo Soft Pastels, Charcoal - Box of 12

The Mungyo Soft Pastels in Charcoal are a versatile and high-quality set of 12 richly pigmented soft pastel sticks, specifically designed for artists and students working on tonal, shading, and monochromatic studies. With a soft, smooth consistency, these pastels are perfect for a variety of drawing techniques including blending, layering, crosshatching, stippling, flat edge shading, and stencilling.

Ideal for adding depth and contrast, these charcoal-toned pastels offer excellent coverage and can be blended easily using a finger, brush or blending stump. They are fade-resistant and work best on lightly textured pastel paper or card, allowing for better adhesion and vibrancy. Their square shape ensures they stay in place during use and provide precise edges for detail work.

Students and artists can enhance existing charcoal or pencil sketches, or use these sticks alone to explore light and form through monochromatic compositions. Pair with a workable fixative spray to lock in layers or allow for rework. These soft pastels bring versatility and dimension to any creative space or art classroom.
