CHARCOAL

Compressed or natural charcoal: natural charcoal is the result of carbonizing

of willow twigs in airtight conditions. The diameter of the charcoal sticks

therefore depends on the diameter of the twigs. Compressed charcoal

consists of clay and particles of charcoal; this mixture is pressed into models

and burned. Compressed charcoal has a homogenous stroke when working

with it; whereas natural charcoal produces lighter, irregular lines and

therefore often is preferred as quick sketching material.

Charcoal is a popular material from students to artists – from sketching to

completion of a drawing or painting. They can also be combined with

colored pastels. There are no limits to your imagination! Fantastic effects

can be achieved by blurring strokes or by dissolving charcoal particles in

water – just give it a try!

Sketching Charcoal
	Whether sketching, outlining or combining with pastels, there are no limits when using Sketching Charcoal. Achieve special effects by smudging the strokes or dissolve charcoal shavings in water.

Nero Stic
	Nero Stick produces a very shiny, smudge proof black stroke. Due to its oily components it is water resistant. Its shape lends itself to large-scale drawing.

Compression Charcoal
	Compressed Charcoal produces an even, smooth and dark black stroke. It is made by mixing charcoal and clay, putting it into a mould and then it is burnt. Available in three hardnesses.
