Mungyo Soft Pastels, Assorted - Box of 48

The Mungyo Soft Pastels Assorted - Box of 48 offers a comprehensive and vibrant colour range designed for students and artists of all skill levels. These fade-resistant, highly pigmented soft pastel sticks are perfect for a variety of drawing techniques including blending, layering, crosshatching, flat edge work, stenciling, and stippling. The square shape prevents them from rolling off surfaces and allows for both precise line work and broad colour coverage.

With a soft and smooth consistency, these pastels blend effortlessly using fingers, blending stumps, or brushes to create rich tonal variations and texture. Ideal for use on slightly textured pastel paper or card, these sticks grip well to the surface, making them suitable for landscape, portrait, still life, and life drawing projects. They can also be used alongside charcoal and pencil drawings to enhance compositions with a burst of colour. For longevity and layering, a workable fixative spray can be used to seal work or allow additional layers.
