Nitram Fine Art Charcoal is the Preferred Charcoal of Professional Artists, Academies and Ateliers. Find out why Nitram is recommended by The Florence Academy of Art. Nitram Charcoal is produced using a unique process that maintains the wood’s cell structure to increase durability and prevent breakage.

Nitram Charcoal creates less dust, making it a better choice for those sensitive to the dust of willow and vine charcoal. Less dust means less mess. Nitram’s variety of grades provides rich blacks and superior tonal values.

By using an eraser quite vigorously in passages you can create various tones – the pressure you use will determine the tone in your chosen areas of the drawing. You can also blend the charcoal with your fingers or a cloth to expand your repertoire of mark making.
