General's White Charcoal

Comments about General's White Charcoal:

I use this with charcoal drawings on toned paper, but despite my general success with it, the charcoal is just too hard. If you want a lot of lay down and coverage go for a soft white pastel, this simply is the product. For what it is its pretty ok, but nothing amazing.

Comments about General's White Charcoal:

These is a great thing because I well use up. Every one of them before I get done with the seven sheets of paper it have got from you these weekend. Witch is good and that means I would have to buy more soon to finish the job on hand as well. I like don' t things that are hard and make me think as well. Because it gives me that fine line to push and see how far I can go with it it as well in my Drawings as well. I have told others of Dick Blick and well keep doing so as long as I can as well.

I use this product in my art classes and the students really like it! This white charcoal allows students to easily lighten areas that they may have over darkened.

I use it with my charcoal work and have found none better

Comments about General's White Charcoal:

I find this works okay on its own but is too hard to blend/layer well with other materials. Layering changes the paper's grip with other materials, or layering too much will be abrasive to the paper. It's smooth, but quite stiff, and leaves a strange waxy residue on the rubber of my kneaded eraser.

I prefer another brand, but unfortunately don't have the packaging anymore and I don't remember where it's from.
