Stoneground - Graphite (Mineral Colour - Half Pan)

Graphite is a natural pigment best known for its use in pencils. In watercolour, however, Graphite has a subtle shimmer and is perfect for creating dramatic skies, rainy pavement, and adding a pencil-like quality to sketches and paintings.

Artist Notes: Graphite’s semi-granular nature can be used to great effect on cold pressed paper when textural effects are desired. Graphite leaves a subtle iridescent finish on paper when dry.

Paint Maker’s Notes: Graphite is a type of carbon most associated with pencil leads.
