The Mont Marte Signature Willow Charcoal is an essential, versatile tool for any artist’s kit. Made by burning willow sticks in a kiln without air, this natural charcoal is specifically prised for its soft, smooth texture and deep, velvety black mark-making. It is perfectly suited for everything from quick gesture sketches and under-drawings to finished, atmospheric "masterpieces."
Key Features:
Natural Willow Sticks: Expertly crafted from natural willow, ensuring a consistent, high-quality texture that glides effortlessly across the paper.
12-Piece Variety Pack: Features a mix of thicknesses (approx. 3–7mm), providing the extraordinary flexibility to switch between fine lines and broad, expressive strokes.
Easy to Erase & Blend: Because it is non-compressed, this charcoal can be brilliantly manipulated with a kneadable eraser or blended with your fingers to create soft, smoky gradients.
Rich Tonal Range: Specifically designed to produce a wide array of shades, from delicate greys to intense, deep blacks, depending on the pressure applied.
Ideal for Under-drawings: Its ability to be easily brushed away makes it superb for mapping out compositions on canvas before applying oil or acrylic paints.
Sturdy Storage Box: Housed in a sturdily built cardboard box to help protect the delicate sticks from breakage during transport.
