PITT Graphite, Charcoal & Crayons

History & Information

Techniques

Products

The classic artists' materials include the "natural" colours sepia and sanguine, and of course charcoal. Crayons, charcoal and graphite sticks and pencils therefore form a natural introduction to the world of Art & Graphic, and are part of the day-to-day toolkit of professional and amateur artists alike.

What all PITT MONOCHROME products have in common is the traditional consistent high standards of quality. Acid-free light-fast colours and a special bonding agent which ensures high pigment density. They are also a delight to use.
