Nitram

Long considered the finest charcoal for drawing, Nitram Academie Fusains Charcoal is the preferred charcoal of professional artists, academies, and ateliers. Packaged in sets of five soft, medium or hard charcoal batons.

The Nitram Baton is a charcoal holder with a square, grippy barrel for holding Nitram Mignonettes securely while drawing. The charcoal advances easily, while keeping hands clean in the process. Mignonettes are soft, dark, and velvety smooth.

Nitram Epais, Demi, Maxi, and Bloc Soft Charcoal Batons are great for artists who work in large formats. Use the Petits Batons for studio figure drawing. The Baton Moyens are ideal for the visual artist.

Nitram Liquid Charcoal is a watersoluble form of artist's charcoal that allows values to be adjusted from very light to a deep, rich black. Straight out of the tube, it is as thick as oil paint, and can be used with a palette knife. It dries very quickly and can be erased when completely dry.

Nitram Powdered Charcoal is milled to an extra-fine, uniform, particle size. Smooth, velvety, and consistent, it can be used with a brush or paper stump to create shapes and tones quickly and easily in your drawings. Sturdy, reusable aluminum tin with a leakproof lid. 6 oz (175 g).

The Nitram Sharpening Bloc is ideal for shaping and sharpening charcoal and other drawing media. It measures approximately 9" long x 3-1/8" wide at its widest point. Includes an extra set of sanding pads.

A great introduction to Nitram fine art charcoal, the Nitram Starter Set contains four charcoal sticks (one each of H, HB, B, and B+), plus a slim sharpening bloc and extra sanding pads. Use B for creating rich blacks, HB for homogenizing and retaining tonal detail, and H for fine details.

The Nitram Stylus is a great tool for all forms of charcoal drawing and sketching.
