Faber-Castell Pitt Natural Charcoal

The hue of natural charcoal has always held a fascination for artists, even the Old Masters.

Faber-Castell Pitt Natural Charcoal Sticks are made by carbonizing soft, resin-free willow twigs under exclusion of air. The sticks glide softly across the paper, rub and smudge easily, and can be wiped, erased, and corrected with a minimum of difficulty. Use them to make uniform, deep black lines in your sketches.

Stick size may vary due to the origin of charcoal sticks that are made from natural willow branches rather than being machine-made. The 3–6 mm sticks measure approximately 1/8"Dia × 5-1/8" long. The 5–8 mm sticks measure approximately 1/5"Dia × 5-1/8" long. The 6–11 mm sticks measure approximately 1/4" × 5-1/8" long.
