Nitram - Extra Soft Fine Art Charcoal
Extra Soft Fine Art Charcoal
Create rich, velvety blacks without crumbling or breaking mid-stroke
Truly soft sticks that hold together during aggressive mark-making. These extra soft 5mm rounds lay down rich, velvety blacks without the brittleness that plagues lesser charcoals. You can push hard for deep tonal passages or work lightly for atmospheric effects, all while the stick maintains structural integrity in your hand.
The Florence Academy of Art and Juliette Aristides endorse these specifically because they perform under classical drawing techniques, extended blending sessions, repeated layering, precise edge work. Extra soft grade excels at covering large areas quickly and building dramatic darks, yet still sharpens to workable points for transitional passages. Five millimeter diameter provides enough mass for broad strokes while remaining maneuverable for controlled application.
Each box contains five sticks, enough for multiple finished drawings or extended studio sessions. The charcoal erases cleanly when you need to pull highlights or correct mistakes, responding predictably to kneaded erasers and chamois. Whether you're working through academic figure studies or developing tonal landscapes, this extra soft grade delivers the depth and control that serious charcoal drawing demands.
