Mungyo Gallery Soft Oil Pastels - how they compare to Paul Rubens and Sennelier oil pastels

[@clairewilliams9416]

I have both Paul Rubin’s and mungyo sets I love them both, mungyo are harder and better for fine details but I love the softness of the Paul Rubin’s. The one thing I will say is that Mungyo has consistent quality but the Paul Rubin’s are really inconsistent quality especially on the darker colours. Some feel like butter but a couple feel like glue sticks.

Just so you know the blue packet of Mungyo are STUDENT grade pastels and the other one is there professional line that’s the difference

Yay you tried Mungyo~! I just ordered 120 set from Gmarket yesterday. Indeed both Mungyo and Paul Rubens are good in their own ways. But I like Mungyo better, because it gives me more control and therefore easier to use. The white in Mungyo might not be great for highlight, but I think it's good for blending.

Nice :D, you have to tell me then if you are happy with the colors in the 120 set

[@oraweetaphianthong877]

@@color-dive sure, I will let you know via Instagram DM when I get it. I ordered a different set without the metallics and fluorescents though.

I really need a set of those, i miss using oil pastels and they seem to be really nice to add to my small collection 😀

[@deeman524]

Mungyo is my favorite, but I have a small set of Sennelier also

Thank you for the review and sharing your thoughts. I just bought the gallery handmade a few weeks ago but haven’t had a chance to try them out yet. Next I think I’ll probably try the ones you bought.

You mean the handmade soft pastels?

I LOVE my 48 set of Mungyo Gallery! I'm so happy you have the Gallery set now! I haven't used them in a long time because I haven't been able to figure out a way to "set" them (even if just setting them slightly since I obviously know oil paints and pastels take ages to actually 'dry') without using a spray fixative, because I can't be bothered to have to go outside just to spray a background I made for a page and wait. Not my cup of tea lol. I've seen videos of people setting their oil pastels with matte or gloss glazing liquids. I have Golden's Satin Glazing Liquid I might try. Though I think I remember now that I did try that before and it just ended up smudging the oil pastels. Do you set your oil pastels and if so, what do you do/use?

[@VMM34]

I have the Mungyo pastels. I set them with VO5 "firm" hairspray, it works 100%.

​@VMM34 great tip 👍

[@andreacomeau2103]

I put my Paul Rubin,s in the frege before I use them it helps with the sticky and sometimes hafe way though my painting.

[@color-dive]

Thats a good idea, thank you :D

[@miklosnemeth8566]

Excellent review! I am expecting my Sennelier 24 set later this week. Do you have Van Gogh oil pastels, too?

[@color-dive]

Thank you... :D. Oh they are going to be great... I have 2 or 3 of Van Gogh, I think I tried them out in my Haul from Holland....But I was thinking of buying the whole set because they have light fast information on them but they are not as good as Sennelier/Mungyo or even Paul Rubens at least not from what I remember but I will buy the whole set and try them out. Did you try them?

[@aimsworth8095]

Been 1 year, but what is your opinion on Mungyo soft oil pastels VS Mont Marte oil pastels? I am choosing to buy one 😊

[@cjwalden8705]

I couldn't hear you!
