Pacific Arc - Vine Charcoal 3-Piece Sets

Vine Charcoal 3-Piece Sets

Sketch with three distinct tonal values in one convenient set

Soft for broad tonal work and initial blocking, medium for general sketching and value building, hard for sharper details and final refinements. Each stick comes individually wrapped to prevent breakage during storage and transport, a practical detail that matters when you're managing supplies for multiple students or stocking retail inventory.

Pacific Arc sources quality willow that burns to consistent density across hardness grades, producing charcoal that lays down smoothly without excessive dust or brittle snapping. The natural material erases cleanly with kneaded erasers and chamois, letting you pull highlights back from dark passages or rework entire sections without abrading paper surface. Soft grades deliver rich blacks for dramatic contrast; hard grades maintain enough structure for controlled line work while still blending when needed.

The clear plastic canister holds forty-eight sets with a carrying handle, designed for instructors managing classroom supplies or shops stocking popular drawing materials. Individual wrapping means sets stay clean and intact until students need them, eliminating the frustration of broken sticks jumbled loose in storage. Whether you're outfitting a figure drawing course or maintaining studio inventory, having this range of hardnesses readily available supports the full spectrum of charcoal techniques.
