A soft, smooth graphite pencil that is water-soluble and performs and looks like traditional graphite in its dry state. It can be used on wood, canvas, paper and silk. Dip pencil directly into water for dark lines or create washes using brushes on penciled artwork. Can be used in combination with watercolours and ink. If you run a damp brush over the pencil lines they completely dissolve, and you can brush the liquid graphite throughout your design like a paint. Create bold, dark marks or several tonal values with the stroke of a brush. This package contains twelve #588 water-soluble graphite pencils. Made in USA with domestic and imported materials.
