ArtGraf Water Soluble Graphite Powder for Expressive Washes and Layered Effects

ArtGraf Water Soluble Graphite Powder is a one-of-a-kind medium that transforms traditional graphite into a fluid, painterly experience. Perfect for artists who love to experiment, this powder can be used dry for shading and texture or activated with water to create delicate washes and bold tonal variations. From light, transparent grays to deep, opaque blacks, it offers a full range of values with just a change in water-to-graphite ratio. Once dry, the graphite can be erased or re-wet, allowing for layered techniques and continuous adjustment.

This medium is highly versatile and responds beautifully to various tools and methods—brush it on wet, rub it in dry, or mix it with other water-based materials to expand your tonal palette. Whether you're sketching, painting, or combining with watercolors, ArtGraf Powder adds rich dimension and texture to your work. Its reactivity and control make it an ideal choice for artists exploring mixed media, tonal studies, or experimental drawing approaches.
