Coloured Charcoal Drawing Set
Coloured Charcoal Drawing Kit
24 coloured charcoals, 2 blending pens, 5.5 x 8.5in sketchbook

The Coloured Charcoal Drawing Set takes everything people love about charcoal, the soft, velvety, smudge it with your finger feel, and adds 24 colours. It comes with 2 blending pens and a sketchbook, so you can start drawing the moment the wrapping comes off. If graphite feels too tidy and pastels feel too dusty, this is the sweet spot.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Work light to dark and keep your lightest colours for last. Coloured charcoal layers beautifully, but a light colour over a dark one will always look a little chalky.

The expressive mark of charcoal, in colour

Coloured charcoal gives you bold, expressive marks with a lovely matte finish. Press lightly for soft haze, harder for rich colour, and blend with the pens for smooth gradients in skies, skin tones and fur.

The sketchbook is compact enough to carry, which makes this a great set for drawing on the go or keeping by the couch.

Getting the Most From Coloured Charcoal

Spray finished drawings with a workable fixative to stop smudging. Hold the can at arm's length and use light coats.

Try toned paper too. Coloured charcoal pops on mid grey or tan paper, where your lights and darks both read clearly.

Questions About the Coloured Charcoal Set

What is the difference between coloured charcoal and pastel?

Coloured charcoal has a charcoal base, so it feels drier and more matte than soft pastel and is easier to control for detail. Pastel is creamier and more opaque.

How do I stop coloured charcoal smudging?

Use a workable fixative spray in light coats once you finish, and store drawings with a sheet of paper over the top.

Is coloured charcoal good for beginners?

Yes. It is forgiving, easy to blend and you can lift mistakes with a kneadable eraser, so it is a friendly way to start drawing in colour.

What are blending pens used for?

Blending pens, sometimes called stumps or tortillons, are tightly rolled paper tools for smudging and merging colours with more control than a fingertip.
