Extra-large handmade water-soluble graphite stick for big artistic interventions and large scale drawings. The graphite of 8B grade turns this rough object into a smooth drawing and painting instrument. The design of the ArtGraf XL had as its starting point the factory and the artisanal process used for the production of graphite leads. ArtGraf XL is an unique worldwide object whose artistic potential is totally unexplored and as such it establishes new frontiers to creativity.
This Viarco ArtGraf Stick is made from a mixture of graphite and water-soluble binders. This makes it possible to use it dry, like a conventional graphite stick, or wet, like a watercolour stick. Use dry or with minimal water for a dense black; use with water to attain ghostly grey washes.
Pencil painting is perhaps the best expression to define the artistic potential of this material, with which the user can obtain the full scale graphite shades, only with a brush and water. Possible to apply on different surfaces, fast drying, but with great capacity of correction, the ArtGraf watercolours are ground-breaking products.
