Description
This is a description of a set of three compressed charcoal sticks from Faber-Castell. The charcoal sticks are made from natural materials and are very soft. They are great for sketching and drawing, and can be erased easily. The charcoal pencils produced from these sticks are very black, due to the addition of soot and clay.
Natural charcoal sticks are the oldest sketching and drawing material in the world. The greyish-blue shade glides softly across the paper, rubs and smudges easily, and can be erased without difficulty and repeatedly overlaid. Their blueish hue has always held a fascination, even with the old masters. The charcoal pencils leave a much blacker line. Compressed charcoal with soot and clay give the charcoal pencils their deep black colour and can be produced in different degrees of hardness.
