ArtGraf - Water Soluble Graphite Pan

Water Soluble Graphite Pan

Paint luminous graphite washes that erase clean after drying

Paintable graphite in a compact circular tin transforms how you work with this fundamental drawing medium. ArtGraf's water-soluble formula activates with a wet brush, releasing rich graphite tones that flow like watercolor while maintaining graphite's characteristic depth and erasability. You control value from delicate washes to dense darks simply by adjusting water ratio and layering intensity.

The concentrated pan format eliminates the mess of traditional graphite sticks or pencil shavings. Wet your brush, load from the tin, and apply directly to paper, the graphite remains workable while wet, allowing you to blend and manipulate values before they set. Once dry, the graphite behaves like traditional pencil work: erasable, smudge-resistant, and ready for additional layers or mixed media techniques.

This approach suits artists who want graphite's tonal range without pencil limitations. Urban sketchers appreciate the portable tin that won't break in transit. Illustrators use it for atmospheric backgrounds and tonal underpaintings. The full spectrum of graphite grays emerges through technique rather than switching between multiple pencil grades, one pan, infinite variation through water and application method.
