The story behind ArtGraf Graphite

Water-soluble graphite from a family pencil maker in Portugal.

ArtGraf is made by Viarco, a family-owned pencil manufacturer in São João da Madeira, Portugal, whose heritage runs back to 1907.

ArtGraf graphite and carbon blocks dissolve with water, so a single tool can draw a line and then become a wash. It sits somewhere between drawing and painting.

Try it in the studio

Rub ArtGraf onto scrap paper, then pick it up with a wet brush to paint a tonal wash; draw back into it with the block while still damp.
