KOH-I-NOOR Hardtmuth Gioconda Extra Charcoal Pencils 2,3,4 (set of 3)

KOH-I-NOOR Hardtmuth Gioconda Extra Charcoal Pencils offer professional-grade charcoal drawing in three versatile grades. This set includes 2, 3, and 4 pencils—soft, medium, and hard respectively—making it ideal for detailed work, shading, and tonal studies.

Each pencil delivers rich, velvety charcoal lay-down with excellent blendability and erasability. The smooth formula responds well to layering and allows for precise control from fine lines to broad strokes. Suitable for sketching, fine art, illustration, and mixed media on paper and prepared surfaces.

To use: sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener or craft knife. Begin with lighter grades (2) for initial composition, then build tone and depth with softer grades (3 and 4). Layer and blend with a tortillon, blending stump, or soft cloth. Erase selectively with a kneaded eraser or vinyl eraser for highlights and corrections. Seal finished work with fixative spray to prevent smudging.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve pencil integrity.
