MUNGYO Gallery Professional 72-Color Soft Oil Pastel Set | Superior Blendability, Elegant Wooden Case

This is an amazing set for the price! I purchased these for a multimedia painting class, and they work well with acrylic and gouache. You will love the creamy, blend-able variety of colors!

These are creamy, and have vibrant colors. Easy to blend.

As a beginner and brand new to oil pastels, I bought the Mungyo Gallery 72 colors to experiment with, based on Amazon reviews and price point; what a great choice it was! Collaborated with a friend and we now have a few Senneliers, Caran d'Ache (24) and Sakura CrayPas, but both of us reach for the Mungyo almost exclusively. They are soft, creamy, layer well, full of rich color and they don't wear down fast like Sennelier. Like other reviewers, I use (my friend's) Senneliers only for highlights or to layer over other colors when I have layered on too much that it makes mud (part of the learning process) - the Sennelier white comes to the rescue. I find that working with oil pastels, is messy but very fun. The oil pastels get all over your hands (and face) and smudge everywhere if you're not careful. Luckily it washes off easily. If you make a mistake, you can cover it up with white or layer on another color. I experimented and used the Mungyo over watercolor paint (apple and sea lions pictures). I used Prisma Color pencils with the Mungyo for the cat picture. I use cheap watercolor paper (Canson) with the exception of the apples which was colored watercolor paper from Hong Kong. The bottom line is the Mungyo oil pastels are fun to experiment with, have a great variety of colors, are easy to work with and affordable enough to just play with or do real art. No need to buy anything else if you are an amateur like me. Except maybe Sennelier's white and maybe a few others. YouTube is a wonderful resource to learn how to effectively layer. So glad I bought the Mungyo Gallery Oil Pastels. Hits all the right buttons!

This is the second box of these oil pastels I purchased in the past I was a fan of Senelier Caran D’ache oil pastels. These colors are just as brilliant and creamy soft great for blending and layering best value for the money.

I love these! There is a great selection of color, they are buttery soft, and they are packaged so beautifully.

Got these the other day. I know nothing about oil pastels. Almost every review I have read or watched on YouTube has said these were a great value. I couldn't give them 5 stars because I have nothing to compare them to. I like them, and they seem to do as advertised, they were a whole lot cheaper than the name brands from abroad. They seem to spread nicely and blend well. Like I said I have no idea exactly how to use them but, I am pleased that they seem to work so well.I would recommend these to anyone looking to wade into the oil pastel world. I am looking forward to learning them very much. They seem a fair price and maybe they are not "Professional" but they are really nice. If anything, these would be an outstanding student set.

I have had this set for a while now, and have used it a few times.1) The box is solid, and I am not afraid of it breaking. It holds the colors, and I wouldn't trade it out.2) The color selection is good. I have choices, and I like the choices I have. They are also vibrant.3) The size is on the bigger side, but I appreciate it, because it means I have more of that color.

Really nice set of oil pastels at a great price!
