The willow plant used for making artist charcoal grows very quickly and takes only one growing season before it is ready for use. It takes 3 days to turn raw willow sticks into willow charcoal ready for the artist to use.
Black stone pencils are ideal for very dark areas and are also very easy to smudge. Thanks to their easy smudgeability, these pencils can be used to create countless tones. A drawing pencil of incomparable softness. It is recommended to only sharpen the wooden casing with a knife and shape the lead using a scraper or glass paper. The black is extremely intense, rich and velvety matt.
Pitt charcoal set of 3 Charcoal is the oldest drawing material in the world. It can be easily rubbed or smudged, is easy to correct and can be painted over again and again. The old masters were already fascinated by its bluish hue when drawn. The charcoal, on the other hand, is much blacker when drawn. Crushed charcoal, combined with soot and clay, gives the charcoal its deep black color and enables it to be differentiated into different degrees of hardness.

Artist's charcoal is a form of dry art medium made from finely ground organic materials held together by a gum or wax binder, or produced without the use of binders by eliminating the oxygen inside the material during the production process.
Liquid charcoal
Traubenschwarz = grape seed black
Kirschkernschwarz = cherry pit black
Pfirsichkernschwarz = peach stone black
Three shades of black allows the leap from drawing to painting
Liquid charcoal in the 35 ml tube - a clean, dust-free way of painting, charcoal drawing and underpainting with charcoal.
The three pigments of natural origin used for this (PBK 8, pit black) are created by charring fruit seeds from the EU area and result in the following unique coal nuances:
a neutral peach stone black - 18 757
a warm, brownish cherry pit black - 18 756
a cool, bluish grape seed black - 18 755
Due to the larger quantity of available paint, liquid charcoal can be used to quickly process large areas. The liquid charcoal contains the high-quality binder gum arabic like traditional artists' watercolours (gouaches, watercolours, etc.), has a gouache-like consistency and can be diluted with water, so that different shades, structures and layer thicknesses can be achieved by different application. Depending on the substrate and the thickness of the layer, it can be wiped off by hand and removed with water. Used as thin underpainting (e.g. in oil painting), subsequent paints do not become dirty or become less dirty than with conventional charcoal underpainting due to the higher adhesion of the bound carbon pigments to the substrate.
Of course, the liquid charcoal can be combined with drawing charcoal. The blurring and removability of the liquid charcoal depends on the surface of the substrate - the more even and firm the surface, the easier to change the application. Pre-tests are recommended.
All three colours are available in 35-ml tubes from art material retailers.
Please note: Due to the fact that the pigments are natural products, there may be minimal colour variations in each batch.

Nitram Charcoal is produced using a unique process that maintains the wood’s cell structure to increase durability and prevent breakage. Unlike willow and vine, Nitram is not brittle and is less prone to breakage. Nitram Charcoal creates less dust, making it a better choice for those sensitive to the dust of willow and vine charcoal. Less dust means less mess. Nitram’s variety of grades provides rich blacks and superior tonal values. Tired of narrow paint sticks with flimsy sandpaper? No need for frustratingly small, thumb-sized pencil scrapers! Nitram’s Sharpening Bloc is for real artists with an appetite for sharp drawing tools! And it comes with a spare set of sanding surfaces! By using an eraser quite vigorously in passages you can create various tones – the pressure you use will determine the tone in your chosen areas of the drawing. You can also blend the charcoal with your fingers or a cloth to expand your repertoire of mark making.
