This versatile drawing material can be used to cover large areas and to create different wash tones and hues with fingers or a chamois. You can use brush, paper stumps, palette knives to create shapes and tones quickly and easily in your charcoal drawings. You will notice that as compared to regular charcoal powder, this compressed powder leaves darker shades on your surface. Great for layering, shading and attaining tonal values, it can be lifted easily with a kneaded eraser. The powder can also be mixed with paint for mixed media applications, for example, it can be combined with other charcoal products or used wet with watercolour to create areas of dark rich black in artworks.
