Conforms to ASTM D-4236 standards

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.

Now available in 40ml tubes!!

An Occhuzzie Specialty!!
Graphite is a opaque shimmery grey/black. Simply ground pencil lead suspended in oil. For best results thin down and use graphite as a wash for fast gestural drawings, or to create a linear under-drawing, even as a grisaille. Because it has already been fused with oil, it will create a more stable ground under you painting. Literally a liquid oil pencil. Use straight out of the jar for a 7B pencil value shade, just add white to create a wide range of cool greys down to a 7H pencil.

Graphite is a fast drier.

I recommend using it with one of our Flake whites.
