Our powdered drawing charcoal has a soft, smooth texture allowing it to blend quickly. It layers beautifully with graphite powder and pencils and can quickly shade large areas to create a dramatic backdrop. Milled to an ultra fine 45 micron particle size, the unique shape of the particles work into paper fast without any grainy lumps or scratches. A versatile drawing media that can be applied with fingers, blending stumps, smudge sticks, or a wet brush. It also works well mixed with paint for mixed media applications.
