Artgraf Graphite Putty is a uniquely versatile drawing material that opens up a whole new world of mark-making possibilities. Made from compressed graphite pigment, this soft, pliable putty can be moulded and shaped in your hands, then applied directly to paper to create rich, expressive tonal work unlike anything you'd achieve with a traditional pencil or stick.
Use it dry to block in large areas of shadow, build up velvety layers of tone, or blend seamlessly across the page with your fingertips. Add water and the putty transforms further, allowing you to paint with graphite and achieve smooth, fluid washes with a distinctly contemporary quality.
The results are bold and atmospheric, making it particularly well suited to life drawing, landscape work, and expressive mark-making. It works beautifully on cartridge paper, watercolour paper, and mixed media surfaces, giving artists plenty of room to experiment.
Produced by the Portuguese brand Artgraf, who are well regarded for their high-quality water-soluble art materials, this putty is a favourite amongst fine artists, illustrators, and students alike.
Whether you're looking to push your drawing practice in a new direction or simply add an exciting new material to your kit, Artgraf Graphite Putty is well worth exploring.
