does not make smooth lines - grainy

Draws with grain. Doesn't move slowly like other charcoal sticks I've used. It's ridiculous to use a stick that's so difficult to maneuver on paper

Pros
  • Produces thin sketches and smoky drawings
Cons
  • Doubtful

Very good quality charcoal

Shipping was fast and arrived in perfect condition (box and bubble wrap). While it is no different from soft charcoal to hard charcoal, it is still pleasant to use and mixes better than pressed charcoal.

Pros
  • As this is a natural product, size may vary slightly; Made in the USA
Cons
  • I will add later

Grapevine Charcoal at its Best

Just got this today before I had to go to painting class. Contrary to the images shown, the parts do not differ in thickness. They are all the same diameter and are long, thin pieces. Aside from the distorted images that are posted, it lives up to its description. It is very soft, ideal for freehand drawing and warming up for more detailed work. I used this on newsprint and was happy with the results. It was pretty cheap and should last a while before I have to get another box. Again, the only…

Pros
  • Super smooth Grapevine Charcoal is made by roasting handpicked vines at high temperatures to produce a rich, dark colour.
Cons
  • High Price
