Pencils are the most versatile of drawing media because of the variety of marks that can be made. Marks can be subtle and delicate or bold and vigorous. A few bold strokes can capture movement whilst tonal shading can define form. A great characteristic of pencil is that line and tone can be combined in one drawing. Here’s some nerd info for you… The H stands for hard and the B for black. The harder pencil leaves less graphite on the surface resulting in lighter mark-making. But you knew that already, right?!

    General’s Sketch and Wash Pencil

    • General’s Sketch and Wash Pencils are water-soluble graphite pencils that allow artists to lay down dark lines and then use a wet paintbrush to create dramatic washes of grey.
    • This all-surface, water soluble graphite pencil performs and looks like traditional graphite in its dry state.
    • These pencils can be used alongside watercolour pencils for shading and unique colour tones, and they are suitable for darkening lines and adding details on wet paper.
    • These versatile pencils are ideal for creating various artistic effects and are popular among artists for their flexibility in creating different textures and tones in their artwork.
    • When a wet brush is swept over the pencil lines, they dissolve entirely, allowing you to spread the liquid graphite across your design akin to paint. This technique enables the creation of bold, dark marks or various tonal values with a single brushstroke. The water bonds the graphite to your paper, ensuring that any added colour remains pure. Furthermore, this pencil can be utilized for alternative purposes, such as applying patterns directly onto painting surfaces instead of using graphite paper, and making marks on a wide range of surfaces including wood and fabric.
    • Use it on wet paper to darken lines and add details.
    • General’s Sketch and Wash Pencils are sold individually, per pencil.
