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

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

I love these pastels. They are way better than the non-Gallery version of Mungyo. They don't produce crumbs and are soft and an absolute pleasure to work with (not as soft as Sennelier, but I like the somewhat firmer consistency). They blend easily, layer well, the colours are beautifully rich and the variety is wonderful and useful. The wooden case is lovely and sturdy, great for travel, much better than a flimsy flat cardboard box. You can use Senneliers over them with no problem. The only two slight negatives are that you can't buy the colours individually if you run out (although you can replace it with an individual colour of another open-stock brand), and that they don't come with lightfastness ratings. But what you get for the price is an absolute steal and they will give you very many hours of enjoyment.

Really nice set of oil pastels at a great price!

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!

works very well. Creates a different texture when combined with pencils and chalk pastels

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.

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.
