Die Softpastels lassen sich sehr gut mit und ohne andere Softpastels verarbeiten und auch verblenden. Sie sind nicht so hoch pigmentiert wie die der Marke Sennelier , die Farben sind trotzdem intensiv und eher butterig im Auftrag. Ein schönes Set

Most of these pastels are very soft and smooth, however I was saddened to see that hard coating on several of the darker pastels.. This coating is hard to remove and causes the pastel to lay down scratchy and patchy..It is a real shame .. They need to step up quality control..

I buy 2-3 sets a year. Love the bright pigmentation, lays down smoothly, and blends well. Great for sanded pastel paper, and I particularly use them extensively for my street chalk art to provide additional rich color and soft blending.

### An Interesting Unison Alternative: Mungyo Gallery Professional Soft PastelsI recently purchased the Mungyo Gallery Professional Soft Pastels set of 30:Pros:- Diverse Colors: A wide range of vibrant colors that provide rich coverage.- Texture: Similar to Unison, they glide smoothly across Canson 500 series charcoal paper, Art Spectrum Colorfix Pastel paper, and UART 500 pastel paper, making blending and layering easy.- Ease of Use: Easy to handle and remove the paper cover; can be broken in half for detailed work without significant loss.- Affordable Quality: Comparable to high-end brands, these pastels are softer than machine-made ones but slightly harder than premium brands, offering great versatility.Cons:- Availability and Delivery: Harder to find than other brands, but Amazon offers the best price.- Detail Work: Achieving fine details can be challenging depending on skill level, which is more a characteristic of the medium than the brand.Overall, Mungyo Gallery Soft Pastels are a fantastic option for both beginners and experienced artists seeking high-quality pastels at an affordable price. Don’t let cost be a barrier to this wonderful medium. Highly recommended!

Handmade pastels, in this quantity, usually cost hundreds of dollars (me, looking greedily at Unison, Terry Ludwig etc.). I was looking for a budget set to use as a beginner and after my experience with Mungyo Extra fine soft pastels, I just went ahead and bought this set of soft, soft pastels. They work great - I enjoy using them and have not had any issues with it.Found out later that Karen Margulis recommends Mungyo Handmade pastels for beginners on a budget as well!

I have several different brands of soft pastels and wanted something similar to my Sennelier sets. I needed something more affordable so that I can use them regularly without worrying about the cost. I tend to use Faber and Rembrandt most often as well as Nupastels. I am absolutely loving these mungyo/Honsell hand made soft pastels. They blend nicely with other soft pastels and pastel pencils. I’ve tried them on different surfaces/brands of pastel paper, pastel-mat, mixed media, watercolor paper and ampersand pastel board, as well as my own hand made pastel paper with wonderful results. I have recently purchased my second set of 30. This set has beautiful colors and is very affordable. They are similar in softness to Sennelier but not as brittle or dusty. The texture is smooth and creamy so blending with your fingers is pleasantly satisfying. I can’t say enough about the exceptional quality and color selection. These are quickly becoming my favorite. The price jump of the 60 piece set and up was shocking but now I understand why. These are professional artist quality pastels with budget friendly options.

Love these! They’re soft, pigmented and just all round great pastels. And the price is really good for the quality.

These pastels are similar in texture to Unisons. The colours are amazing! Quite often when I can’t find a particular colour I’m looking for among my top quality pastels (e.g. Terry Ludwig, Schmincke) I will find the colour in my Honsell (Mungyo) set. Beautiful, bright and vibrant colours, creamy delicious texture. Love these.

I've wanted to try handmade soft pastels for so long but the price always made me pause. I know myself and if I brought pastels that were really expensive I never would have used them. I would have saved them for the right project or waited until my skills were on par with the quality of the pastels. Which is a waste, what's the point of buying art supplies if they're too precious to use. So when I saw these hand-rolled Artist quality pastels in a youtube video I knew I had to try them. These pastels are affordable, there is nothing cheap about them!I've worked with oil pastels and machine-made soft pastels. These pastels are easy to blend and buttery soft. The color applies smoothly to the paper they're very easy to work with. The color is vibrant and the pastels are highly pigmented. I didn't get a lot of dust and when I opened my sketchbook the next day the transfer on the opposite page was minimal. I haven't used any other brands but these pastels behave exactly as I hoped and expected handmade pastels would. I cannot say enough good things about Mungyo Gallery. I'm going to buy their artist oil pastels next. If you're on the fence, I'd suggest you go ahead and buy them. I'm so happy I did. The set of 30 is a good amount but if you can afford a larger set go for it. I wish there was a bit more color variation, two of the reds are very close in tone to one another. This would be fine but in a set of 30 every pastel counts and if your color isn't dark enough there isn't much you can do. And an extra white would have been nice. But since you can buy these pastels individually I'm not too pressed about that. The color chart in the manual is a helpful tool if you do want to add to your set. You can see which colors come in each set and which colors you're missing.

These are a great value for the buck. The colors are fantastic but these are in between a hard and soft pastel. They are rather gritty too. If you're on a budget these will work but I'd suggest using a better sanded pastel paper such as Uart or Pastel Mat by Sennelier. Any cheaper paper will leave you frustrated.

Habituellement, j'utilise uniquement des pastels Sennelier, Unison, Schmincke ou Girault. Ils sont parmi les meilleurs, il y en a d'autres mais je ne peux les avoir tous. J'avais choisi cette boite en me disant qu'au pire, il seraient bien pour faire les fonds, ensuite, je pourrais travailler dessus avec mes pastels tendres. J'ai été très surpris par la qualité des pastel Mungyo. Ils sont très tendres, se rapprochant de ceux cités plus haut et parfaitement lumineux. Du coup, pourquoi payer le double un produit si ceux-ci conviennent parfaitement a mon loisir.Très sincèrement, je ne saurais trop vous conseiller de les testé, vous risqueriez de beaucoup les apprécier.Livraison rapide et soigné.
