Paint with Graphite

Change the way you think about graphite! Made by the Portuguese pencil company Viarco, founded in 1907, this innovative watersoluble graphite can be diluted with a wet brush into a full range of values, from deep blacks, to subtle, shimmering washes. Experiment with the varying transparencies and textured effects of this medium as you explore value sketches, or combine with ink and watercolor. ArtGraf Watersoluble Graphite binds to paper and is also fully erasable once dry.

The small, round tin can be easily slipped into your Art Toolkit to take on your adventures anytime, anywhere!
