Wow you changed my life! I never knew you can set the pastels with alcohol. I did it abd it’s great. It changed my life! I can now do backgrounds and draw over them. Alcohol set my whole painting. It’s a pastel gesso. Thank you! You are a genius ! Hugs hugs hugs!

HELLO AND THANK YOU, LAUREN FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU GAVE TO US ARTISTS ABOUT THESE MUNGYO PASTELS ESPECIALLY FOR AN ARTIST WHO IS JUST STARTING TO USE PASTELS LIKE ME SO THANK YOU AGAIN IT IS MUCH APPRCIATED BY THIS MARINE GRUNT HERE

You gave us a wonderful review of these pastels! It is easy to see how accomplished you are with this medium. I agree that if you are a beginner these are one of the best introductions to soft handmade pastels! Mungyo can be confusing as they have several lines of soft pastels, the real key is staying with “handmade” series or sets. I have seen the whole line of 200 on sale at Jerry’s for around $400.00! That is awful good for this quality of stick! I got the 30 stick set when trying to decide on what brand I wanted to spend my money on when going to soft pastels. I found the Schmincke sticks the best for my soft pastel needs. They are a bit tough to break clean, but oh so lovely to use! Thank you for sharing your insights with these pastels. You have also created a wonderful painting for us to enjoy, thank you!

I’m a watercolor artist who, admittedly, has never touched a single pastel in my life. But I really enjoyed this video a lot, it was really informative and I always love seeing windows into other mediums and the people who use them! Also it’s kind of funny to see that the same brands that make excellent watercolors, surprise, make excellent pastels lol. I see people mentioning sennelier, schmincke, etc, and that’s pretty cool! I have a soft spot for Mungyo watercolors (also sold as Prima Watercolors/Art Philosophy) so maybe if I dive into the world of pastels I’ll give these a try.

Based on your review I ordered and just received a set of 30. They are just as amazing as you claim and now I plan to order the Landscape set of 60! Thanks again!!

These are great. I use them and love them.

Thanks that was great, love the picture 😊

Thanks for doing this review, great information. Love the wave painting you made it was great to see these pastels and you in action. I will consider these pastels now that I've seen them in motion. Thanks!

Omg, you make pastel work look so easy!! ❤️

Such a thorough and helpful review of these pastels. I particularly enjoyed watching you "grate" the pastels using your scissors for your whitest wave highlights and then using copier paper (I'm presuming-?) to push them into the pastels beneath them. Going to have to steal that technique! ;-) Thanks for sharing your time, talent and expertise! Blessings for a wonderful holiday season.

Thank you Lauren, I’m just getting into pastels, I love using pastels on my cartons and mystical drawings, your video is so helpful 😊 Happy New Years 2023 to you and your family and God Bless Always 🙏🏽✨🎊

Great review, thank you!

Hello All🤗🤗Thanks for the info🙏🏾💙🤗new subby. This drawing is Sooooo Beautiful and I needed some wave inspo to finish out this drawing I’m doing.

Waiting is haaaard

Lauren, have you seen these on Amz recently? I bought the set of 30 last year on a great sale on Amz. If I search my orders and click the link again, I am getting Honsell Gallery soft pastels. The set of 30 looks the same, but They don’t have a set of 60 like yours. I definitely like that more natural 30 colors that came in your set of 60. EDIT....ok, I see them on Jerry’s, still under the Mungyo brand. Interesting. The set of 60 is on sale today for $99.

Am I crazy, or do many pastel sets tend to be light on the blues? My Paul Reubens set of 72 only has 5 blues, and so do both sets here (at least this one has a Prussian!) I noticed the Terry Ludwig Plein Air 60 only has about 5 as well. Maybe it's just me -- but for a set of 60 that is half earths & neutrals, I'd think they would give you a few more options for sky and water? Or throw in a few more blues in the larger set? I feel like I'm missing something...

FWIW: Made in Korea. Kaolin Clay and/or Calcium Carbonate. I would respectfully disagree with the Mungyo at a parr with Senelier. Mungyo are more on a parr with Rembrandt IMHO on quality?

Have to say, I'm surprised you gave these non-artist quality cheap pastels that aren't lightfast a better review than Jack Richeson, which ARE artist quality, lightfast pastels. 😳😳

Thank you for sharing. Just ordered the 60 set from Ebay. How did you make the sketchbook?

Is this the landscape or portrait set???

are they blandable?

Hi! what is the name of the sanded sketch book you used?
