Charcoal is a natural product that provides the indispensable artists' tool. Used on its own to create striking atmospheric impressions, with paint or pastels where colour is required, for outlining or shading, or to prepare more ambitious works.
Coates Willow is a soft, deep black charcoal that is the high quality choice for the discerning artist.
(Whilst every care is taken with packaging, charcoal is a natural, fragile product that is subject to breakage. It is still perfectly usable when broken).
