One of the oldest and most traditional drawing tools, charcoal is basically carbonised wood - so for a truly authentic result, why not use charcoal as nature intended. Compressed Charcoal is a solid stick of pure, reformed wood charcoal. It produces deep, dense tones with a completely different texture to graphite. Available in three versatile grades, soft, medium and hard, Compressed Charcoal is naturally watersoluble allowing you to create interesting line and wash effects.
- With 3 grades of hardness ideal for essential drawing, these compressed charcoals are ideal for sketching and drawing for artists of all levels.
- Square sticks of non-toxic compressed pure black charcoal produce a velvety surface. Very fine grit-free consistency for smooth and easy drawing and blending.
- Use the flat edge for broad strokes, or sand the stick to a fine point for detailed work. Create bold lines, or use a tortillion to smudge and blend.
- Charcoal sticks may be used as they are, or you may break them into smaller pieces for your convenience.
- Compressed charcoal blister of 6 contains: 2 x soft, 2 x medium and 2 x hard.
