Stumps and Tortillons


When looking for a way to blend and move colors in your pastel, charcoal, and graphite drawings and paintings, stumps and tortillons are a wise way to achieve control while keeping your fingers clean. Made from sheets of paper that are tightly wound and shaped to a point, stumps and tortillons are used by rubbing a pointed end on areas of a drawing to be blended. When an end becomes worn or dirty, simply unwind the paper to expose a fresh tip. Similar to a tortillon stump, which has a point on only one end, a blending stump may be longer or more tightly wound, but always has a point at both ends. Shop Blick for sets that include these tools and other useful blending tools.
