For generations artists have trusted Coates Willow Charcoal for its smooth handling rich blacks and effortless erasability. Handmade in England from carefully selected willow it produces soft velvety marks that blend easily and lift cleanly making it ideal for gesture drawing life drawing and tonal studies.
Willow charcoal produces darker softer marks than vine charcoal making it perfect for expressive shading and rich tonal work. Vine charcoal is generally firmer and lighter making it better suited to initial sketches and construction lines.
Use on drawing paper or newsprint then blend with a paper stump and lift highlights with a kneaded eraser.
