If, like me, you like monochrome, then the Faber Castell 11 Pitt Graphite Set is the perfect set. Here you will find no less than 9 different pencils and graphite pencils, a brush and an eraser, all so you can sketch, draw and paint in gray tones. But what is graphite, you ask? Well, that’s part of the pencil! If you mix graphite powder with clay powder, you get the essence of a pencil. So there is no lead in pencil (which is good). Graphite is the pure color, you could say, and in this set the graphite pencils have no wood grain.
In terms of hardness, there is hard (H) and black (B) where B is softer and therefore also darker and easier to erase – the higher the number, the harder or blacker.
There’s also the unusual feature of two water-soluble pencils here – so you can go over the paint with a brush and a little water to dilute it and create different gradients. What fun!
In this set you will find:
9000 2B
9000 8B
9000 2B jumbo

Tip Corner!
As you may know, working with pencils on coated paper is completely useless, but on uncoated, smooth paper, mmmm. The pencil set is the perfect companion to the Smallish Brush Set.
And hey, if you want a slightly more gentle eraser that only removes a little of your sketches, I recommend Faber Castell Kneadable Art Eraser
