Cretacolor Graphite Powder – 150g

Fine graphite powder for laying in large areas of soft grey tone with a brush, cotton pad or stump.

Cretacolor's drawing powders let you lay in soft, even tone over large areas far faster than with a pencil or stick. Apply them with a soft brush, cotton pad, chamois or paper stump to create subtle gradations, atmospheric backgrounds and smoky skies, then draw into the toned surface and lift out highlights with a kneadable eraser.

Choose graphite powder for silvery greys, charcoal powder for deep, velvety blacks, or sanguine and sepia powders for the warm reddish and brown tones of classical drawing. The powders combine naturally with the matching Cretacolor pencils, sticks and Artist Leads, so you can move seamlessly from broad tone to fine detail in the same medium.

A little goes a long way: tip a small amount on to scrap paper and pick it up as you work.
