Charcoal is a transparent black. Great for toning down areas to create subtle shadows within layers of paint. Used as an under drawing, Charcoal could create a true grisaille if laid down as blocks of tone. Charcoal could also be used for linear under drawing or thinned down as a wash for fast figurative drawings, because it has already been fused with oil, it will create a more stable ground under you painting.

When white is added you get a range of cool greys. Charcoal is a fast drier.

I recommend using it with one of our lead whites.
