The Bloc de Saule is a large square edged extra soft stick, great for sharp marks as well as covering large areas.
Box contains 1 charcoal stick.
Can be sharpened to a fine point with the Nitram Sharpening Block.
The charcoal allows for deep dark shades while still being easily erased for luminous light effects.
If you are working on a piece that requires extra deep black then the Bloc de Saule is more black than the Nitram B.

Nitram produces its charcoal using a unique process that maintains the woods cell structure which increases the charcoals durability & helps prevent breakage. Nitram charcoal doesnt break like willow or vine do, & feels much less brittle. Also you produce less dust when working expressively.
