Strong in Pigment, Superior Grade, Handmade Artists' Soft Pastels from Gallery

Discover the luxurious feel and vibrant color of Gallery Handmade Soft Pastels by Mungyo. These premium, hand-rolled pastels are crafted using only the finest pigments and kaolin clay. Because each stick is individually rolled by hand, they require less binder—resulting in an ultra-soft texture that’s perfect for smooth blends, rich applications, and delicate layering. Only top-tier pigments with the highest lightfast ratings go into each pastel, and every color is AP non-toxic. These pastels also pair beautifully with Mungyo’s Extra-Fine Soft Pastels, combining the subtle softness of handmade pastels with the structure of machine-made sticks for dynamic layering and detail work.

What truly makes these pastels a standout choice are the thoughtfully curated sets. Each set comes with a balanced selection of shades, packaged in either a sturdy cardboard or elegant wooden box with protective foam dividers. These themed sets make it easy to explore a full spectrum of color without the guesswork. Whether you're just beginning with handmade pastels or you're a seasoned artist looking for high-quality consistency and variety, these sets are a smart and beautiful way to expand your palette.
