Inspired by traditional tailor's chalk, the Artgraf Tailor Shape is a rich, water-soluble block of pigment that offers a wonderfully intuitive and expressive way to draw and paint. Extremely soft to the touch, each block delivers a wide range of tones depending on how much water you use, from light, transparent washes through to deep, rich, opaque marks.
Used dry, the Tailor Shape works beautifully as a drawing medium in its own right. Add water and it behaves much like an ink, flowing fluidly across the page. Colour can be picked up directly from the block with a wet brush, much as you would with traditional watercolour paint, or the whole block can be used to draw and paint with directly.
This monochrome set contains three essential shades — Black Carbon, Graphite, and White — giving you everything you need to explore the full tonal range, from deep shadow to clean highlight. The three blocks come presented in a cork casing and each measures 4.45 x 5.08cm.
