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

These oil pastels are a great value. They are soft, go on easy, and the pigment is great. I used them on a large canvas for a recent art piece and they blended beautifully. They also work great on top of acrylic. I am super happy with my purchase!

These are excellent budget oil pastels. You get a wide range of colors. The case does not seem durable at all but I will be careful with it and I expect it to last a little while. The pastels are smooth and heavily pigmented. Not excessively oily. Highly recommend for hobby or school pastels.

Amazing and the case is travel friendly and sturdy. Great selection of colors, very easily workable and soft.

These are my favorite oil pastels to color with. They are easy to use and really good value for the money.

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!

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.

Very nice soft pastel kit. A larger version of their 48-color set, containing those 48 colors and 24 more. Very nice wooden case -- will last a long time!

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.

Esta marca vale completamente la pena, calidad precio son excelentes en cuanto a su suavidad y facilidad para mezclar, lo encontré en una buena oferta para probar y valieron completamente la pena, si no quieres gastar tanto en unos de marca premier y tampoco quieres unos pasteles muy básicos que parezcan crayolas, estos son una excelente alternativa, el único detalle que no afecta la calidad de los pasteles son las pijas que tienen las bisagras de la caja de madera, al ser tan pequeños se caen fácilmente, pero eso ya lo considero como un extra ya que es más bonita y rígida que una caja de cartón.

Prima di aquistarli mi sono fatta una cultura in merito premetto che li ho usati poco ma per quello che serve a me sono perfetti. sono molto pigmentati e si prestano a essere sovrapposti o accostati sfumandosi perfettamente, è vero che non è una tecnica proprio facilissima ma a me piace tantissimo. Bisogna sperimentare e provare cercando di non saturare subito il foglio altrimenti non si riesce ad essere veramente realistici. Dopo tre o 4 strati su un colore scuro il bianco non è super brillante questa è forse l' unica pecca. Per ottenere questo effetto così sfumato ho utilizzato un pennello intinto di olio di lino.

very happy with this purchase. the package was well-protected by bubble wrap, nothing broke. the pastels themselves are vibrant and blend easily. for this price point, I don't know if there is a better alternative for hobby artists. the case that comes with the pastels is rather lightweight and super handy. fully recommend.
