Frequently asked questions about the Winsor & Newton Vine Charcoal (12 Sticks)
- What is the difference between vine and compressed charcoal?
- Vine charcoal is light and easy to erase. Compressed charcoal is bound with gum and makes much darker, harder-to-erase marks.
- What is vine charcoal best for?
- Early sketches, gesture drawing and lay-ins you plan to adjust.
- How do I fix a vine charcoal drawing?
- Spray with a workable fixative, since vine charcoal smudges easily.
