Designed for the traditional artist in search of deep, rich black tones with the shape and feel of an extra soft vine or willow charcoal, Nitram Beaux Arts is extremely soft while maintaining its form and ability to sharpen to a very fine point. Unlike vine or willow charcoal sticks, Nitram charcoal will not crumble or skip when used expressively. Nitram charcoal erases well and is easier to work than other less expensive charcoal brands.
