The White Charcoal Pencil – Mont Marte is a versatile art tool that provides a unique way to add highlights, create contrast and enhance details in charcoal and mixed media artwork. Mont Marte is known for offering high-quality art supplies at an affordable price, and their white charcoal pencil is no exception.

Rich, Opaque White Colour:

• • The pencil provides a bright, opaque white that stands out against darker backgrounds or charcoal sketches. It is designed to create striking highlights and vivid light contrasts in your artwork.
  • Ideal for adding highlights in black-and-white drawings or softening dark charcoal lines without compromising the integrity of your work.

Smooth Application:

• • The white charcoal pencil applies smoothly to paper, gliding easily to create clean, controlled strokes. The texture is soft, allowing for blending and layering with ease, making it ideal for creating gradients and fine details.

Perfect for Layering:

• • The soft nature of the pencil allows it to be layered over dark charcoal or graphite. Create realistic light effects, such as shadows, highlights, or glows in your artwork.
  • It works particularly well for adding dimension and depth to charcoal drawings. Especially when you need to emphasize certain areas of your composition.

Blending and Softening:

• • Like regular charcoal, Mont Marte white charcoal can be easily blended using a blending stump, tissue or your fingers to create soft transitions and realistic lighting effects.
  • The softness also helps to blend it smoothly into other media such as graphite, watercolour, and pastels.

Great for Highlights:

• • It is particularly useful for creating highlights in portrait drawings, figure studies, landscapes and still-life works. Use it to accentuate features such as the eyes, cheekbones, hair or reflective surfaces.
  • The pencil can also be used to highlight key areas.
