Description of Grumbacher Vine Charcoal Medium V4212

Create wispy sketches and smoky drawings. Rich, velvety texture. Medium Vine Charcoal is created by burning hand-selected vines at high temperatures to produce a smooth stick with a very dark gray color. Each stick measures approximately 0.25"” (0.635 cm) in diameter. Because it is a natural product, size may vary slightly; Made in USA.

Impressive Charcoal for Creative Arts and Crafts

This charcoal is amazing! Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I able to recognize the quality of this product instantly. It is perfect for my drawing projects, bringing a unique texture and shades to my sketches. What's great is that it doesn't smudge easily and the vine charcoal comes in a pack, providing multiple sizes and options for various artistic techniques. However, the downside is that it tends to break easily if you apply too much pressure. Despite that, I highly recommend this

Pros
  • Produces a rich and bold line on paper
Cons
  • Creates a lot of dust that can be messy and difficult to clean up

My Favorite Charcoal: Arts and Crafts Supplies

I think this is a great medium sized charcoal. I keep it in my pencil case, sketchbooks and even a small emergency kit in the car. Nice shading, nice lines. (YankeePainter.com)

Pros
  • Each stick is approximately 0.25 inch (0.635 cm) in diameter
Cons
  • Some Bugs

Wow, great coal!

Note: Please read my review of Grumbacher 12-pack soft charcoal from another supplier (or at least another manufacturer) - same misleading photo applies to this and inappropriate shipping packaging. product (now at an even higher price). The image/photo of the product is wrong! The photo implies that you will receive a lot more product. Either way, be sure to check out your local independent art store.

Pros
  • Fine sketches and smoky drawings
Cons
  • Crumpled pack
