Faber-Castell's Pitt® Graphic range provides all creative artists with an extensive range of pencils and crayons in different degrees of hardness for sketching, graphic design and shading work. The "green pencil from Faber" which was approved by Van Gogh and Goethe, has now become part of everyday life. The 16 grades of hardness range - from a delicate grey hue to a deep graphite black - offer artists a wide range of possibilities. The Pitt® Graphite Pure leads are ideal for creating contrasts and shading extended areas. These pencils offer unparalleled possibilities for spontaneous expression, creating different effects based on the pressure applied and grade of hardness. The Pitt® Graphite Crayons are an ideal and very economical medium for working on very large sketches and areas.Natural charcoal sticks are the oldest sketching and drawing material in the world. The Pitt® Natural Charcoal sticks greyish-blue shade glides softly across the paper, rubs and smudges easily, and can be erased without difficulty and repeatedly overlaid. This bluish hue has always held a fascination, even with the old masters. The Pitt® Charcoal Pencils leave a much blacker line. Charcoal, compressed with soot and clay, give the charcoal pencils their deep black color and can be produced in different degrees of hardness.The monochrome colors of black, white, sanguine and sepia can be found in life drawing classes at almost every art school. They bring pictures to life with vitality and expression. This is an old tradition of figure drawing that dates back to the Renaissance, enhanced with white and with shadows deepened with black. Faber-Castell's Pitt® Monochrome Crayons hark back to this long tradition of figure drawing, which is why the crayons designed for sketching are harder than conventional pastel crayons. For this reason, the lines do not disappear completely when smudged. Oil-free and oil-based drawing pencils for detail sketching supplement the sanguine and sepia crayons. See More

As an artist, you want to show off your work in the best way possible, whether it's in a gallery or on the internet. Light exposure is a recurring challenge to graphite artists. In poor lighting conditions, reflections can enhance flaws and hide details. These distortions can also happen when photographing art. Frustrating glare is not an issue with Faber-Castell's Pitt Graphite Matt pencils. The new soft dark formula reduces light reflection with a rich matt finish. This means that details are not lost under reflection, and digitizing (photographing, scanning) is simple. With little or no light reflection, these matt pencils allow you to present your art in the best light. Like all Faber-Castell pencils, the lead is break-resistant and lightfast. The Pitt Graphite Matt pencils come in eight degrees of hardness: HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, 10B, 12B, and 14B. While graphite pencils usually have a glossy casing finish, these pencils have a matt lacquer. Key Features: * Soft dark graphite * Little or no light reflection on graphite * Rich matt finish * 8 Degrees of hardness * HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, 10B, 12B, and 14B * Break-resistant and lightfast lead * Matt lacquer coating so you won't get them confused * Made in Germany * Sustainably manufactured in a climate-neutral building * PEFC certified cedar wood from sustainably managed forests * Environmentally friendly pencil lacquer * Perfect For: * Sketching and fine art drawings * Photographing work without light reflection * Displaying drawings in a gallery without light reflection * Fine artists and illustrators * Drafting and design * Travel and classwork * Eco-conscious artists * Fine line and detail work See More

Makes a truly luxurious gift! Please note:… Polychromos, The most lightfast brand of colored pencils, that will resist fading for over 100 years! Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencil Sets are widely considered to be the finest professional colored pencils on the market. The vegetable oil-based pencils exhibit a richness of color and smoothness that is unparalleled by any other brand, without the ugly wax bloom that develops with layering, like other popular brands on the market. The barrel houses a 3.8mm diameter, SV bonded lead that is both water-resistant and smudge proof, with the bonding providing breakage-resistance with accidental dropping or rough sharpening. Key Features:* 3.8mm diameter oil based lead* Highest lightfastness ratings* Break-Resistant leads* 120 color range* Polychromos sets of 120, 12, 24, 36 & 60 Perfect For:* Illustrators, Designers, Fine Artists* Archival and lightfast artworks* Easy blending and layering* Use on multiple surfaces* Replacing brands that break easily With a color range of 120 open stock colors, 100 of those have a 3 star lightfastness rating (7-8 on the Blue Wool Scale). Why is this important? Until the Colored Pencil Society of America approached the ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) about developing lightfastness testing for colored pencils, there was not a set lightfastness rating in place for the product. A standard was passed in 2003 and testing began (D6901), and found most brands terribly lacking— most of which did not produce lightfastness beyond 25 years. With 100 colors at the top of the lightfastness ratings, Faber Castell has been dedicated from the start to provide a truly fine art, professional quality colored pencil! The expanded color range matches both Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencil Sets and Polychromos pastels for multi-media techniques.

Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils are widely considered to be the finest professional colored pencils on the market. The vegetable oil-based pencils exhibit a richness of color and smoothness that is unparalleled by any other brand, without the ugly wax bloom that develops with layering, like other popular brands on the market. The barrel houses a 3.8mm diameter, SV bonded lead that is both water-resistant and smudge proof, with the bonding providing breakage-resistance with accidental dropping or rough sharpening. Key Features:* Thick 3.8 mm lead diameter* Oil-based lead* Soft, vibrant color laydown* High-quality acid-free pigments with unsurpassed lightfastness * Water-resistant and smudge-proof* High break resistance due to Secural bonding process (SV)* 120 color range Perfect For:* Illustrators, Designers, Fine Artists* Archival and lightfast artworks* Easy blending and layering* Use on multiple surfaces* Replacing brands that break easily* Professionals, art students With a color range of 120 open stock colors, 100 of those have a 3 star lightfastness rating (7-8 on the Blue Wool Scale). Why is this important? Until the Colored Pencil Society of America approached the ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) about developing lightfastness testing for colored pencils, there was not a set lightfastness rating in place for the product. A standard was passed in 2003 and testing began (D6901), and found most brands terribly lacking— most of which did not produce lightfastness beyond 25 years. With 100 colors at the top of the lightfastness ratings, Faber Castell has been dedicated from the start to provide a truly fine art, professional quality colored pencil! The expanded color range matches both Albrecht Dürer watercolor pencils and Polychromos pastels for multi-media techniques. Pencils work beautifully on textured and smooth papers, sanded pastel papers and boards, wood, and even fabric. Please note: The pencil barrel’s labeling may vary in appearance within sets and individual stock due to a rolling manufacturer design change. The quality and formula of the Polychromos pencils remain unchanged. See More
