ArtGraf - No. 1 Water-Soluble Drawing Graphite Putty

No. 1 Water-Soluble Drawing Graphite Putty

Mold graphite like clay, then activate with water for infinite tonal range

Graphite that bends, shapes, and responds to water opens techniques impossible with traditional sticks or pencils. ArtGraf's putty-like consistency lets you pinch off pieces for precise details or press larger portions directly onto paper for bold tonal masses. Mold it around your finger for sweeping gestural marks, flatten it for broad coverage, or roll it into custom drawing tools that match exactly what your composition needs.

The water-soluble formulation transforms this already versatile material into something more dynamic. Dry application delivers rich, velvety graphite with controllable coverage density. Activate with water and those marks dissolve into washes ranging from pale atmospheric grays to deep, saturated darks. Layer wet over dry, blend edges selectively, or lift highlights from activated areas, the material responds to watercolor techniques while maintaining graphite's characteristic luminosity.

Premium artist-grade pigment ensures lightfastness and archival stability. The putty stays workable without hardening or crumbling, maintaining consistent performance whether you're building tonal drawings, creating mixed media underlayers, or exploring experimental mark-making. This isn't graphite constrained by pencil form, it's graphite freed to match your working method.
