Cretacolor Charcoal Powder, 175 g

This is pure charcoal powder from Cretacolor, the historic Austrian maker of fine drawing supplies. Very dark and finely ground, Cretacolor Charcoal Powder can be used dry (just rub or brush it onto textured paper). Alternatively, you can add a liquid binder like gum arabic, colorless ink medium, or acrylic polymer, allowing you to create your own artist colors.

Sold by weight: 175 g (approx. 0.38 lb) in a plastic jar with screw top.

WARNING: Always wear appropriate PPE when working with fine pigment powders. Even non-toxic pigments should never be inhaled, because they can cause serious respiratory damage. In our Color Lab, we wear NIOSH-certified P100 respirators when working with dry pigments, and we strongly recommend that you do the same in your studio.
