PITT MONOCHROME 
The classic artists' materials include the "natural" colours sepia and sanguine, and of course charcoal. Crayons, charcoal and graphite sticks and pencils therefore form a natural introduction to the world of Art & Graphic, and are part of the day-to-day toolkit of professional and amateur artists alike. |
What all PITT MONOCHROME products have in common is the traditional consistent high standards of quality: light-fast colours and the special binding agent which ensures high pigment density. They are also a delight to use. PITT MONOCHROME artists' pencils are ideal for drawing fine lines and details. A wide range of hardness's allows a graduated depth which makes your drawings more three-dimensional. The pencils with wax leads are unusually smooth in use, and need no fixing. Their wood casing keeps the fingers clean, so avoiding smudges. PITT MONOCHROME natural charcoal made from twigs is soft and very suitable for shading. The marks can be wiped and corrected easily. Pressed charcoal comes in five grades from extra soft to extra hard. It leaves a dense black mark, ideal for heightening shadows and for clear delineation |

Sketching Pencils
Inexpensive entry level sketching equipment for Students.
The Reeves Sketching Pencils are a range of high quality graphite lead
pencils, ideal for artistic drawing and sketching. The wide range of
lead softness allows for a huge array of different shading effects and
techniques. The strong leads will not easily break when sharpened and
last longer under heavy marking and drawing pressure.
The easy way to sharpen a pencil is with the traditional
pencil sharpener block, the disadvantage of this is a
symmetrical point, also more wastage of the graphite. But if you sharpen your pencil with a knife blade or scalpel ,
you can shape the end to be flat and wide in one direction and
very thin in the other. Think a flat-head screwdriver, but
sharp. You can have a variety of stokes by how you hold the
pencil. You can also use fine sand / glass paper to adjust the
edge also.
