Compressed charcoal. For drawing and studio use.

Why use white compressed charcoal rather than white chalk or pastel?

• Compressed charcoal holds its form under blending and delivers more consistent marks than soft chalk. It produces luminous highlights that integrate well with black charcoal work on toned paper.

What paper colour works best with white compressed charcoal?

• Mid-tone grey, brown, and buff papers are most commonly used — the white marks read clearly against mid-tones without requiring the strongest black contrasts.

Can this be used alongside the Black compressed charcoal (CHP257)?

• Yes — black and white compressed charcoal are designed to be used together on toned paper for tonal drawing with highlights and shadows. ---
