Portuguese pencil company Viarco has made a unique, versatile water-soluble graphite for over 100 years. These first-rate art materials are a true treat for any artist who values quality. 

This innovative graphite block behaves much like a watercolour block. It can be used by wetting a brush and loading it with graphite, then painting in beautiful, shimmering monochromatic tones. 

Also available in 20g or 60g and packaged in a beautiful tin. Perfect for taking on the road, the tin can easily be slipped into a pocket or bag. 

For shading large areas and for gestural strokes, try the generous, 250g XL stick, and get rich shades of black and grey with the new tailor's-chalk-inspired water-soluble Carbon Block. Create beautiful tonal drawings with this deluxe new water-soluble graphite and carbon from one of Europe's premier pencil makers!
