Description
The Faber-Castell Pitt Natural Charcoal 5-8MM 12 Pieces is a set of charcoal pencils that are made from natural materials. They are greyish-blue in color and have a soft, blueish hue. They are easy to erase and can be overlaid multiple times. They produce a much darker line than compressed charcoal with soot and clay, and are also harder to produce.
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 degree of hardness.
